In this paper we give a construction of T -shift synchronization codes, i.e. block codes capable of correcting synchronization shifts of length at most T in either direction (left or right). We prove lower and upper bounds on the maximal cardinality of such codes. An infinite number of the constructed codes turn out to be asymptotically optimal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
