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.enmixed burstfixed burstoverlapping bursterror pattern-syndromesparity check matrixArticle
