Abstract: A method of encoding, transmitting and decoding data over a wireless medium, including, selecting a number of bits N representing a symbol, creating a set of at least 2 to the power of N equal sized codewords with a larger number of bits than N, representing the 2 to the power of N possible combinations of N bit symbols, receiving a stream of data, replacing every N bit symbol from the stream of data with its representative codeword from the created set, transmitting the codewords using a faster transmission bit rate such that the transmission time allocated for each codeword is substantially the same as the time duration required to transmit the original bits it replaced.

Abstract: A Communication Diode Driver Circuit (CDDC) for selectively illuminating communication diodes (CDs) in response to incoming digital data pulses with a LED drive current ILED(t) close to a nominal LED drive current IN therefor in a steady state operation of the CDDC. The CDDC includes a driver unit for driving the LED drive current ILED(t), and a closed loop feedback unit for continuously monitoring the LED drive current ILED(t) for providing a variable shift voltage SV(t). The driver unit includes a shift amplifier for combining a pulsed analog data voltage ADV(t) corresponding to incoming digital data pulses, and the shift voltage SV(t).
