Abstract :
The mixed-error channel (MC) combines the binary symmetric channel and the peak shift channel. The construction of (d, k) constrained t-MC-error-correcting block codes is described. It is demonstrated that these codes can achieve a code rate close to the ( d, k) capacity. The encoding and decoding procedures are described. The performance of the construction depends on a particular partitioning of (d, k) constrained block codes. This partitioning is discussed and various tables of codes are included. Examples on encoding/decoding and on code performance are given
