Encoding device for encoding multiple symbols in encoded bitstream, has multiplexer, which is arranged to attach block coded bits with each other for encoded bitstream so that series is predetermined

摘要

The encoding device (100) has multiple encoding units (103a,103b) and a multiplexer (105), where the encoding units are arranged to encode multiple symbols per unit time and generate multiple coding bits for each symbol. The encoding units are designed as code-variable-length-encoding units so that the number of coded bits vary for different symbols. The multiplexer is arranged to attach block coded bits with each other for an encoded bitstream so that a series is predetermined. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a method for encoding multiple symbols in an encoded bitstream; (2) a decoding device for decoding a coded bit stream; (3) a decoding method for decoding a coded bit stream and (4) a computer program with a program code.
