Abstract

An original information sequence is encoded by a use of an error correcting code. There is associated with the encoded sequence K frequency symbols in a space consisting of a series of 2p increasing frequencies, each of the K symbols representing N encoded symbols, with p, K and N being strictly positive integers. There is applied to the K symbols a reversible transformation including a multiplication by an invertible matrix of size N×N, and signals obtained from the inverse transform signals are sent. There exists a K-tuplet of positive integers n1, n2, . . . , nk at least one of which is strictly positive, such that, for an integer I varying from 1 to K, after periodic extraction of one frequency out of 2ni among the frequencies of the ith of the K symbols, thus forming a reduced frequency symbol of 2p−ni frequencies, K reduced frequency symbols are obtained, representing the original information sequence, with a view to complete or partial decoding.
