On the existence of optimum cyclic burst- correcting codes
Abstract:
It is shown that for each integerb geq 1infinitely many optimum cyclicb-burst-correcting codes exist, i.e., codes whose lengthn, redundancyr, and burst-correcting capabilityb, satisfyn = 2^{r-b+1} - 1. Some optimum codes forb = 3, 4, and5are also studied in detail.
