A note on t-EC/d-UED codes

Recently D.J. Lin and B. Bose, (1988) proposed a class of t error correcting and d unidirectional error detecting codes (t-EC/d-UED codes) where d>t. The authors refine the codes in such a way that the error detecting capability of the resulting codes is considerably better than the existing codes in many cases. The decoding algorithm is described. The proposed codes are compared to the Lin-Bose codes.<
