Effect of a Binary Symmetric Channel on the Synchronisation Recovery of Variable Length Codes

M. Rahman * and S. Misbahuddin *

Department of Electrical Engineering, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Box 377, Dhahran 31261, Saudi Arabia

Optimal source codes are usually required to have variable length code words. When these code words are transmitted through a noisy channel, the decoder at the receiving end suffers loss of synchronisation caused by one or more erroneous received bits. The expected error span between loss and recovery of synchronisation is evaluated as a function of the channel cross over probability.

Received February 1988. revised August 1988.
