Method of channel coding for digital communication system and channel coding device using the same

Abstract

A method of channel coding a digital communication system and a device using the same is provided. The method includes quantizing analog data to digital data, the digital data corresponding to a predetermined number of digital codes; allocating channel codes to the digital codes, as a Hamming distance between a pair of channel codes corresponding to any pair of the digital codes is proportional to a difference between analog values of the pair of the digital codes; and channel coding the digital data by using the channel codes which are allocated to the digital codes to generate channel coded digital data. Accordingly, digital data, such as multimedia digital data without source coding and the like, of which information significance is different may be effectively transmitted and received.

Claims

1. A method of channel coding comprising: quantizing analog data to digital data, the digital data corresponding to a predetermined number of digital codes;allocating channel codes to the digital codes as, a Hamming distance between a pair of the channel codes corresponding to any pair of the digital codes is proportional to a difference between analog values of the pair of the digital codes; andchannel coding the digital data by using the channel codes which are allocated to the digital codes to generate channel coded digital data.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the analog data is at least one of multimedia data including audio data and sensor measuring data.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the method of channel coding is utilized for a short distance transmission of the multimedia data via a wireless earset.

4. A digital communication method comprising: quantizing analog data to digital data, the digital data corresponding to a predetermined number of digital codes;allocating channel codes to the digital codes, as a Hamming distance between a pair of channel codes corresponding to any pair of the digital codes is proportional to a difference between analog values of the pair of the digital codes;channel coding the digital data by using the channel codes which are allocated to the digital codes to generate channel coded digital data;receiving the channel coded digital data, received via a channel, and channel decoding the channel coded digital data to recover the digital data; anddigital-to-analog converting the recovered digital data to recover the analog data.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the analog data comprises multimedia data including audio data.
