Simple high-rate constrained codes
K.A. Schouhamer Immink, Adriaan J. van Wijngaarden · Electronics Letters · 1996
A new coding technique is proposed that translates binary user information into a constrained sequence having the virtue that at most k ‘zeros’ between logical ‘ones’ will occur. The new construction offers a high rate while both the complexity for encoding and decoding are still very low. Single channel bit errors will result in at most one decoded byte error. A worked example is described with rate 16/17, k = 6 code.
