  • Abstract
    Two classes of simple low-rate burst-correcting convolutional codes that meet the Gallager bound of g/b \\geq 1 + R/1 - R are presented. Special cases of these codes are also shown to meet the Peterson and Weldon bound of b \\leq [frac{1}{2}(n_A -- 1)] . A third class of low-rate codes that can correct iow-density type B2 bursts is also presented. All three classes of codes are majority-logic decodable and, hence, can be easily implemented.
