  • Abstract
    In a text encoded with a Huffman code a bit error can propagate arbitrarily long. This paper introduces a method for limiting such error propagation to not more than L bits, L being a parameter of the algorithm. The method utilizes the inherent tendency of the codes to synchronize spontaneously and does not introduce any redundancy if such a synchronization takes place.
