  • Abstract
    Describes a (d,k)=(1,8) runlength-limited (RLL) rate 8/12 code with fixed codeword length 12. The code is block-decodable; a codeword can be decoded without knowledge of preceding or succeeding codewords. The code belongs to the class of bounded delay block-decodable (BDB) codes with one symbol (8 bits) look-ahead. Due to its format, this code is particularly attractive for use in combination with error-correcting codes such as Reed-Solomon codes over the finite field GF(28)
