AN INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD WITH ERROR CORRECTION FOR DATA SYMBOLS,AN ERROR CORRECTING DECODING METHOD FOR SUCH DATA SYMBOLS,AN APPARATUS FOR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION FOR USE WITH THE METHOD,A DEVICE FOR INFORMATION DECODING FOR USE WITH THE METHOD,AND AN APPARATUS FOR USE WITH SUCH DEVICE

摘要

There is described a method and apparatus for error correcting data transmission between a user device and a medium. The information integrity is maintained by a first and second cross-interleaved Reed-Solomon code. A third Reed-Solomon code is overlaid on the CIRC code in that a sector is built from user words and protected by a quasi-product code. Then an encoded sector is divided into groupts, which are group-wise presented to the CIRC encoder.
