Erasure and Error-Correction Decoding Algorithm for Spread-Spectrum Systems with Partial-Time Interference
Rui-Hua Dou, L.B. Milstein · IRE Transactions on Communications Systems · 1985
An erasure-control decoding algorithm is discussed for frequency-hopped spread-spectrum systems operating in the presence of pulsed or partial-time interference, and some properties of the resulting error probability which are useful in designing effective decoding algorithms are derived. Based on numerical results, specific decoding algorithms which correct both erasures and errors are then presented for use with block codes employing hard decisions.
