The present invention relates to a method for improving
forward error correction in serial coding in
data transmission in a vehicle and, compared to the prior art, the invention produces, inter alia, the
advantage that physical behavior on the
transmission channel can always be deterministically controlled despite reduced resource requirements. Thus, according to the proposed method, bit errors are few, and transmit errors can be corrected efficiently (i.e., with little technical effort). Furthermore, the
encoder used is designed to have a minimum number of gates, and
interleaving is implied in the proposed method based on the fact that so-called burst errors can be particularly advantageously corrected. This implicit
interleaving makes it possible to dispense with the conventional buffer memory required for explicit
interleaving. In addition, the present invention ensures that user data together with correction
metadata can be advantageously encoded with respect to transmission. According to the invention, not only user data can be ensured, but also correction data can be ensured to be line-coded or line-coded. The invention also relates to a similarly designed
system arrangement for carrying out the method, and to a
computer program product having control commands for carrying out the method.
