Burst-error-correcting array codes
Patrick Guy Farrell, Stephen J. Hopkins · Radio and Electronic Engineer · 1982
Classes of array codes for correcting bursts of errors, bursts of erasures, and mixed error-and-erasure bursts, are described. A specific example of a burst-error-correcting array code, and its decoder, is given. These codes have relatively high rates, small decoding delay, simple encoding and decoding algorithms, and are capable of high-speed operation. Array codes have a wide range of application in digital communications.
