Abstract
The present invention concerns a method of coding information symbols according to a code defined on a Galois field F, where q is an integer greater than 2 and equal to a power of a prime number, and of length n=p(q−1), where p>1. This coding is designed so that there exists a corresponding decoding method, also disclosed by the invention, in which the correction of transmission errors essentially comes down to the correction of errors in p words of length (q−1) coded according to Reed-Solomon. The invention is particularly advantageous when, through a suitable choice of parameters, the code according to the invention is an algebraic geometric code: in this case, it is possible to correct the transmission errors by the method already mentioned and/or by a conventional method which is less economical but has a higher performance.
