Inhibited Error-Correction Decoder Performance
Michael E. Mitchell · IRE Transactions on Communications Systems · 1962
An "inhibited" error-correction decoder is defined as one which inhibits its output of decoded information bits when an uncorrectable error is detected. The output bit error rate, probability of false acceptance, and other performance parameters of inhibited decoders are expressed as responses to uncorrectable errors and the effect of such errors on several error-correction decoders of practical interest is described in terms of the numerical results of a computer simulation.
