AN APPLICATION OF BOSE-CHAUDHURI ERROR-CORRECTING CODES.
Abstract
A solution is proposed to the problem of the use of error correcting codes on a particular multichannel hf radio circuit with a slowly time varying probability of bit error, and a computer algorithm for this solution is given. The conclusion is reached that the single, double, and triple error correcting Bose-Chaudhuri codes of block length 31, which have been stunted to a block length of 30, should be used. A small general purpose computer will be used to decode the blocks, possibly to compose a request for retransmission of uncorrectable errors, and to decide, on the basis of current error rates on a particular channel, the type of code to be used on that particular channel.
