Design and Evaluation of a Generalized Burst-Trapping Error Control System
W. Pehlert · IEEE Transactions on Communication Technology · 1971
An experimental error control system utilizing a generalized burst-trapping error control technique has been designed, built, and evaluated. Code parameters were chosen such that bursts as long as 1000 bits are likely to be corrected in the presence of a background random bit error rate as large as3 \times 10^{-3}. In this paper we give a brief description of generalized burst-trapping codes, we discuss the design and implementation of the decoder, and we describe the performance evaluation.
