The invention provides a channel coding method for encoding systematic data for transmission in a communication channel. The systematic data has a runlength constraint. In the method, data words are permuted. Error codes are generated based upon the permuted data words. The error codes are appended to original data words to form channel input for serial transmission in the communication channel. The number of error code bits is limited to ensure the channel input meets the runlength constraint. The error code can be a parity check bit.

What is claimed is: 1. A channel coding method for encoding systematic data for transmission in a communication channel, the systematic data having a runlength constraint, the method comprising steps of: permuting data words; generating error codes based upon permuted data words; and appending error codes to original data words to form channel input for serial transmission in the communication channel, the number of error code bits of the error codes being limited to ensure the channel input meets the runlength constraint. 2. The channel coding method according to claim 1, wherein said error code is a parity check bit. 3. The channel coding method according to claim 1, wherein the runlength constraint limits same value bit runs to k bits, and said step of appending limits the number of check parity check bits inserted in any one block of data according to the following steps: runlength limiting, prior to said step of generating, the blocks of data to limit same value bit runs to k-j bits, where 1≦j ≦k-1; setting the rate of data bits to total bits including parity bits in said step of generating to be greater than or equal to (k-j+1)/(k+1); and limiting the number of parity check code bits inserted into any one block of k-j+1 data bits to no more than j bits.
