Abstract

The present invention encompasses a method for determining values for parity check bits (p1, . . . , pm) based on a current symbol set (s1, . . . , sk). The method comprises the steps of receiving the current symbol set (s1, . . . , sk) and using a transformation of a matrix to determine the parity check bits. The first N2 columns of the matrix is defined that for column i, 1&lE;i&lE;&boxur;m/2&boxul;, a value of 1 is assigned to row position i and a value of 1 is assigned to row position i+&boxur;m/2&boxul;, all other row positions have a value of 0. Additionally for column i, &boxur;m/2&boxul;+1&lE;i&lE;N2<m , a value of 1 is assigned to row position i&#8722;&boxur;m/2&boxul; and a value of 1 is assigned to row position i+1, all other row positions have a value of 0.
