Error detecting runlength-limited sequences
Kees A. Schouhamer Immink · 1990
Codes based on runlength-limited sequences are the state of the art corner stone of current disk recorders, whether their nature is magnetic or optical. The error detecting or correcting capabilities of runlength limited sequences are quite poor. In this paper, the author presents an algebraic approach for constructing runlength-limited block codes of fixed codeword length that impart some error detecting capabilities. >
