Method and Apparatus for Parallel Encoding and Decoding of Data

摘要

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for encoding and decoding data in parallel. The present invention provides a system for decompressing a data stream having multiple codewords. The system includes an input channel that receives the data stream. The system also includes a decoder which decodes each bit of the data stream, wherein at least two of the codewords in the data stream are decoded at the same time, such that the data stream is decoded in parallel.
