Abstract

When variable length codes, such as Huffman codes, are transmitted through a noisy channel, any bit error can lead to loss of synchronization at the decoder and cause error propagation. Synchronizing codewords (SCs) have been previously proposed to resynchronize the decoder regardless of any preceding synchronization slippage. To overcome the drawbacks of synchronizing codewords, the authors introduce the concept of extended synchronizing codewords.
