Abstract

A method an apparatus for symmetric line coding is provided where a binary input signal d is received; a value for each of a pair of binary bits p and q are dynamically defined in response to the input stream; and a pair of output bitstreams v1 and v2 are dynamically generated in accordance with the following: if d=1, then v1=p and v2=p, and if d=0, then v1=(1−q) and v2=q.In illustrative embodiments of the invention, the generation may be performed by symmetric-line coding machines, including: a bitstream symmetric line coding machine, a regular bitstream symmetric line coding machine, a complementary regular bitstream symmetric line coding machine, a binary complementary regular symmetric line coding machine, a bitstream parallel symmetric line coding machine, a regular bitstream parallel symmetric line coding machine, a complementary regular bitstream parallel symmetric line coding machine, and a binary complementary regular parallel symmetric line coding machine.
