MIXED BURST ERROR CORRECTING CODES

In this paper, we construct codes which are an improvement on the previously known block-wise burst error correcting codes in terms of their error correcting capabilities. Along with different bursts in different sub-blocks, the given codes also correct overlapping bursts of a given length in two consecutive sub-blocks of a code word. Such codes are called mixed burst correcting (mbc) codes.
