Apparatus and method for transmitting header information in a ds-uwb communication system

The invention DS-UWB (Direct Sequence-Ultra Wide Band), to an apparatus and method for encoding the header information in a communication system. An apparatus for encoding the 8 information bits in accordance with the present invention with 24 symbols, the length 16 of the first code generator for generating the first base sequence of the second order Reed-Muller code, the length 8 of the of the first order Reed-Muller code and the second code generator for generating a first basis sequence, wherein the input of 8 information bits, at least one codeword of the first by adding the basis sequence by the second order Reed-Muller code is selected by means of the 8 information bits and a first computing unit for generating, first entering the predetermined portion of the 8 information bits, and added to generate the code words of the first order Reed-Muller code, the at least one second base sequence is selected by the part of the information bits second calculation base, and wherein the second order Reed-Muller code from the first codeword and the second operation unit multiplexes the code word of the first order Reed-Muller code from a second computing unit W comprises the document multiplexer to generate the 24 symbols.
