Abstract
A device (100) and method (400) are set forth that provide a parity check that utilizes a nonlinear dependence upon bits other than the parity bit alone. The 4D 16-state Wei trellis code is made transparent to m.multidot.90 degree rotations by utilizing a parity generating unit that generates a parity check bit based on at least a second rotationally significant label bit. The parity check bit allows detection of errors in a first rotationally-significant label bit, i.e., allows for achievement of a rotationally transparent parity check.
