M-ary encoding is the process of encoding the 'q' source symbol output alphabets into 'k' symbol code (k>q) such that each k code-word is of length M.

E.g: If a source emits 4 symbols A B C D and if we use 2-ary(binary- with two alphabets 0 & 1) encoding, the code-words can be:

  1. A-00
  2. B-01
  3. C-10
  4. D-11 OR ANY OTHER COMBINATIONS DEPENDING ON THE ENCODING SCHEME
