Abstract :
Two soft decision decoding algorithms for a new class of runlength-limited error control codes with maximum runlength constraints 2, 6 and 14 are presented. Software simulation results for illustrative codes of block length 16 and 64 provide a comparison with the general soft decision decoders proposed by Chase (1972)
