Abstract:
For editing data, in particular for transmission via a channel with given variable data rate, the data are separated into bit classes which are provided with various error redundancies. Said bit classes are also assessed with weighting factors. The code rates for the bit classes are allocated in relation to the respective weighting factors. The invention proposes to produce a scalable channel codec, the configuration thereof only depending on the available channel codec bit rate. Said channel codec is simple to adapt to different transmission processes.
