Abstract: The encoding system includes a feed unit receiving data and producing N data streams, where N is at least two. Each of N encoders receives a respective one of the N data streams and produces an encoded data stream. A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) encoder receives the N encoded data streams and encodes the N encoded data streams into M output data stream for transmission by M transmit antennas, where M is at least two. In the decoding system, a MIMO decoder receives T data streams from T receive antennas and decodes the T data streams into the N encoded data streams. Each of N decoders receives a respective one of the N encoded data streams from the MIMO decoder and produces N decoded data streams. A combiner combines the N decoded data streams into an output data stream.

Abstract: A method of retransmitting multiple error coded streams formed from one block of information, if errors are detected. A first process from the method includes forming multiple error coded streams from one block of information. Each of the at least two error coded streams may then be transmitted in response to a confirmation message. A second process from the method includes performing independent error detection on at least two received error coded streams. At least one confirmation message may be transmitted in response to the independent error detection performed on at least one of the received error coded streams.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a vaccine against tuberculosis and other intracellular pathogens, this vaccine is targeted against intracellular pathogens, more particularly the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Salmonella in this case.
