A class of cyclic unequal error protection codes (Corresp.)

Abstract

This correspondence presents a new class of cyclic majority-logic decodable codes. The codes provide unequal error protection for the information digits, i.e., some decoded digits are guaranteed to be correct despite <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t_1</tex> or fewer channel errors even though the minimum distance of the code guarantees protection from only <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t_0</tex> errors and <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t_1 &gt; t_0</tex> .
