The present invention relates to a method of recording secondary information on a record carrier, in particular on an optical record carrier, besides its content information, whereby it is possible to differentiate the record carrier from other record carrier bearing the same content information, for example by recording an individual identifier. The secondary information is recorded by: forming at predetermined positions dummy patterns (23), preferably at the same moment as when recording the content information, and recording the secondary information by selectively modifying the dummy patterns, thereby obtaining modified dummy patterns (24), wherein the dummy patterns as well as the modified dummy patterns correspond to valid channel words. The invention further relates to an apparatus for recording secondary information, to a record carrier, and to a method and to an apparatus for reproducing the secondary information.

A method of selecting a generator matrix (G) for encoding information words (m) including information symbols (m1, m2, mk) into codewords (c) of a code (C) provides an enhanced error correction capability if at least one information symbol (m1, m2, m3) is known a priori to a decoder decoding received, possibly mutilated codewords (r). In order to design a code of which the correction power is enhanced if some information symbols are known to the decoder prior to decoding, the generator matrix (G) is selected such that the minimum Hamming distance of at least one subcode (C′) of the code (C) is larger than the minimum Hamming distance of the code (C), and that a subcode generator matrix (G′) of the at least one subcode (C′) is derived from the generator matrix (G) of the code (C) by omitting the at least one row from the generator matrix (G) corresponding to the at least one a priori known information symbol (m1, m2, m3).

A system for wireless communication in a network includes: a resource-restricted device transmitting a data frame to be forwarded to a destination device in the network, wherein the data frame includes a source identifier of the resource-restricted device, wherein the source identifier is not a valid network address for the network; a proxy device receiving the data frame from the resource-restricted device, deriving a network address for the resource-restricted device as a function of the source identifier of the resource-restricted device, and constructing, from the data frame, a packet to be forwarded to at least the destination device. Constructing the packet involves: including, in the packet, data from the data frame, and including, in the packet, the derived network address for the resource-restricted device as a source address for the packet. The proxy device associates a delay to the packet, and schedules transmission of the packet after the delay.
