A method for encoding K bits of data, wherein K is a multiple of N is provided. The method includes a first step of mapping N consecutive bits of the K bits of data, starting from either its least significant bit or its most significant bit, to a point within a quadrant out of 2N quadrants of an N-dimensional space. The method includes a second step of mapping the subsequent contiguous N consecutive bits of the K bits of data, to a point within a sub-quadrant out of 2N quadrants of the N dimensional space within the previous quadrant. The method includes repeating the second step until all K bits of data have been mapped. The method includes a third step of obtaining N coordinate values of N consecutive bits of the data mapped last, wherein the N coordinate values represent the encoded code word for the K bits of data.
