G. Sharma et al., PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF BURST-ERROR-CORRECTING CODES ON A GILBERT-ELLIOTT CHANNEL, IEEE transactions on communications, 46(7), 1998, pp. 846-849
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.
