Abstract
An encoding method includes partitioning an input stream into first sub-blocks and second sub-blocks, encoding the second sub-blocks based on a number and location of reference sub-blocks to generate third sub-blocks when at least one of the first sub-blocks corresponds to a forbidden pattern, and rearranging the first sub-blocks and the third sub-blocks to generate an output stream. The reference sub-blocks indicate the second sub-blocks that correspond to a reference pattern and the third sub-blocks includes a redundant information sub-block and non-redundant information sub-blocks. Thus, the encoding method may properly control a direct current (DC) component.
