Abstract :
We provide a new definition for the concept of skew in parallel asynchronous communications introduced by Blaum and Bruck (1993). The new definition extends and strengthens previously known results on skew. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for codes that can tolerate a certain amount of skew under the new definition. We also extend the results to codes that can tolerate a certain amount of skew and detect a larger amount of skew when the tolerating threshold is exceeded
