The Reliability of Systems with Two Levels of Fault Tolerance: The Return of the "Birthday Surprise"
(1990)
This paper considers the reliability of systems that employ fault tolerance at two different hierarchical levels. Specifically, it assumes the system consists of a two-dimensional array of components. Each component is ...
The Performance of Focused Error Control Codes
(1990)
Consider an additive noise channel with inputs and outputs in the field GF (q ) where q > 2; every time a symbol is transmitted over such a channel, there are q - 1 different errors that can occur, corresponding to the q ...
Distributed Decoding of Cyclic Block Codes Using a Generalization of Majority-Logic Decoding
(1992)
One-step majority-logic decoding is one of the simplest algorithms for decoding cyclic block codes. However, it is an effective decoding scheme for very few codes. This paper presents a generalization based on the ...
