Abstract :
A method is presented for constructing nonlinear unequal error protection codes. The method uses linear codes as building blocks, thus allowing simple decoding. Comparisons between some two level UEP codes constructed with this method and the direct sum of codes show that these examples perform better than the direct sum of linear codes
