On guided scrambling with guaranteed maximum run-length constraints
Adriaan J. van Wijngaarden, K.A. Schouhamer Immink · 2004
Methods are developed to effectively combine guided scrambling and maximum run-length limited codes in order to impose a guaranteed maximum run-length constraint. It will be demonstrated that the combination of guided scrambling and a well-chosen maximum run-length limited code may offer a sound trade-off between overall code rate and performance in terms of the probability of violating the channel constraints.
