Abstract :
This article introduces an upper bound on the probability of error bursts of a specific length at the Viterbi maximum likelihood decoder output. It shows a recursive method for calculation of the generating function coefficients necessary for evaluating this bound. Among the many applications of these results, the calculation of an upper bound on the message error probability is presented
