Abstract

We present new methods to protect maximum run-length constrained sequences against random and burst errors and to avoid error propagation. Specific parallel conversion techniques and enumerative coding algorithms for the transformation of binary user information into constrained codewords are proposed. The new schemes are simple and very efficient. The methods can be used for synchronization in communication systems and for modulation coding in magnetic and optical recording systems
