Abstract
An encoder system for encoding a signal according to any number of FEC and/or channel codes comprises a shift register, an array of MOD/XOR stages, and a generator matrix stage for controlling the connections between the shift register and the MOD/XOR stages and altering these connections according to a coding format selected by an encoder selection stage. There is also disclosed a decoder system for decoding a signal encoded according to a number of FEC and/or channel codes comprising a decoding stage, and a generator matrix stage for configuring the decoding stage to a decoding code format to be applied an incoming encoded signal. A decoder selection stage is coupled to the generator matrix stage and selects the decoding code format to be used in the decoding process. The decoder selection stage instructs the generator matrix stage to configure the decoding stage according to the selected decoding code format. There is also disclosed a method for encoding and decoding.
