Coding for Combined Block-Symbol Error Correction

TL;DR

This paper introduces low-complexity error correction schemes capable of handling mixed error types, including symbol errors, erasures, and phased burst errors, for robust communication over unreliable channels.

Contribution

It presents novel coding schemes specifically designed to correct both random and burst errors with low complexity, addressing a gap in existing error correction methods.

Findings

Successfully corrects symbol errors and erasures.

Effectively handles phased burst errors and erasures.

Low-complexity implementation suitable for practical systems.

Abstract

We design low-complexity error correction coding schemes for channels that introduce different types of errors and erasures: on the one hand, the proposed schemes can successfully deal with symbol errors and erasures, and, on the other hand, they can also successfully handle phased burst errors and erasures.
