On run-length limited error control codes constructed from binary product codes

Peter Farkaš – Tomáš Janvars – Katarína Farkašová – Eugen Ružický

   In this paper it is presented that run-length limited error control codes could be constructed from any two or more-dimensional binary product codes as long as at least one of the one-dimensional binary component codes is or can be converted to a run-length limited error control code. The advantages of this construction are as follows: It does not require any additional redundancy except that which is already contained in the original error control code and that the encoding and decoding procedure used for the underlying error control code do not to be changed.

Keywords: constrained code, run-length limited error control code, binary product code, control matrix, modifier, more-dimensional code
