Method for the encoding and decoding of a sequence of words, corresponding signal, encoder, decoder, computer programs and storage means

A method for decoding a sequence of binary encoded words, wherein the sequence does not possess an isolated binary element between two binary elements having a value different from that of the isolated binary element, and wherein the decoding method comprises:

• a step of decoding each of the binary encoded words, the binary encoded words being decoded separately, and, for each of the binary encoded words:
• a step of reading a decoded word in a decoding table at a location that is a function of the encoded word;
• and
• a step of verifying the validity of the decoded word as a function of the result of said reading step.

A device for decoding a sequence of binary encoded words, wherein the sequence does not possess an isolated binary element between two binary elements that have a value different from that of the isolated binary element and wherein the device comprises:

• a decoder adapted to decode each of the binary encoded words, the binary encoded words being decoded separately, and, for each of the binary encoded words:
• a reader adapted to read a decoded word in a decoding table at a location that is a function of the encoded word;
• and
• a validator adapted to verify the validity of the decoded word as a function of the result of said reader.

A computer program product adapted to the decoding of a sequence of binary encoded words,

• said sequence possessing no isolated binary element between two binary elements having a value different from that of the isolated binary element,
• said computer program product comprising program code instructions recorded on a readable medium that can be used in a computer comprising:
• programming means readable by computer to perform:
• a step of decoding each of the binary encoded words, the binary encoded words being decoded separately, and, for each of the binary encoded words:
• a step of reading a decoded word in a decoding table at a location that is a function of the encoded word;
• and
• a step of verifying the validity of the decoded word as a function of the result of the reading step.

A computer readable storage medium, which is totally or partially removable, storing a set of machine executable instructions, said instructions being executable by a computer adapted to the decoding of a sequence of binary encoded words, the sequence possessing no isolated binary element between two binary elements having a value different from that of the isolated binary element, to perform:

• a step of decoding each of the binary encoded words, the binary encoded words being decoded separately, and, for each of the binary encoded words:
• a step of reading a decoded word in a decoding table at a location that is a function of the encoded word;
• and
• a step of verifying the validity of the decoded word as a function of the result of the reading step.
