Abstract
In this letter the performance of single burst-error-correcting (BEC) codes used over bursty channels is evaluated. The channel is represent ed by the Gilbert-Elliott (GE) model, which has been used by numerous authors to evaluate the performance of random-error-correcting (REC) c odes over bursty channels. Recursive expressions are derived, which ar e used in evaluating the probability of a codeword error, These expres sions and an approximate closed-form expression are applied to the per formance of a single (23,12) BEC code.
