Generalized algorithm for design of DC-free codes based on multilevel partition chain

A generalized algorithm for design of DC-free codes based on the multilevel partition chain is presented. The multilevel partition chain is formed from the code partition chain of Reed-Muller codes. Some parameters such as the maximum runlength and running digital sum (RDS) of DC-free codes are also obtained. The results show that the DC-free codes obtained by the presented design algorithm have good coding parameters.
