Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 71 words
A method for protected transmission of information with multi-component coding, comprising the steps of: supplying chained information sequences to a plurality of component coders, said chained information sequences having code symbols; selecting important bits or bit sequences from the information sequences according to a selection algorithm; supplying said selected important bits or bit sequences to further component coders; and protecting said selected important bits or bit sequences with further component codes.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 71 words
A method for protected transmission of information with multi-component coding, comprising the steps of: supplying chained information sequences to a plurality of component coders, said chained information sequences having code symbols; selecting important bits or bit sequences from the information sequences according to a selection algorithm; supplying said selected important bits or bit sequences to further component coders; and protecting said selected important bits or bit sequences with further component codes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein the selection algorithm for the important bits is modifiable according to different demands.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein the selected bits or bit sequences are conducted via interleavers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method according to claim 3, wherein a scrambling length of the interleavers is controllable.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein convolution codes are employed as component codes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 16 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein single-parity check codes are employed as further component codes.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 24 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein a different plurality of code symbols are selected from the coded code sequences for different changing demands.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 26 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein redundancy is non-uniformly distributed over the information bits by dynamic selection of code symbols from the coded code sequences.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 87 words
A coder apparatus for generating a multi-component code for an information sequence having important bits or bit sequences, comprising: a plurality of first component coders for receiving the information sequence; a plurality of filters also for receiving the information sequence; a plurality of second component coders respectively connected to said plurality of filters, said filters functioning as selection circuits for selecting bits from the important bits or sequence of bits; wherein the plurality of first and second component coders generate a multi-component code for the information sequence.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 87 words
A coder apparatus for generating a multi-component code for an information sequence having important bits or bit sequences, comprising: a plurality of first component coders for receiving the information sequence; a plurality of filters also for receiving the information sequence; a plurality of second component coders respectively connected to said plurality of filters, said filters functioning as selection circuits for selecting bits from the important bits or sequence of bits; wherein the plurality of first and second component coders generate a multi-component code for the information sequence.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 86 words
A decoder apparatus for decoding a multi-component code of an information sequence having important bits and bit sequences, comprising: a plurality of first component decoders for receiving the information sequence; a plurality of filters also for receiving the information sequence; a plurality of second component decoders respectively connected to said plurality of filters, said filters functioning as selection circuits for selecting bits from the important bits or sequence of bits; wherein the plurality of first and second component decoders effect a decoding of the information sequence.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 86 words
A decoder apparatus for decoding a multi-component code of an information sequence having important bits and bit sequences, comprising: a plurality of first component decoders for receiving the information sequence; a plurality of filters also for receiving the information sequence; a plurality of second component decoders respectively connected to said plurality of filters, said filters functioning as selection circuits for selecting bits from the important bits or sequence of bits; wherein the plurality of first and second component decoders effect a decoding of the information sequence.
