Patent 7392461 Issued on June 24, 2008. Estimated Expiration Date: January 13, 2025. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.
The present invention concerns a method and apparatus of decoding a one-point algebraic geometric code defined on an algebraic curve represented by an equation in X and Z of degree 2μφ in Z, where φ is a strictly positive integer and μ an integer greater than 1, obtained by taking the fiber product of μ component algebraic equations, each of said component equations governing the unknown X and an unknown Yi, where i=0, . . . , μ−1, and being of degree 2φ in Yi. This method comprises the decoding of 2(μ−1)φ “clustered” codes, all defined on the same algebraic curve represented by one of said component equations.
