TWO-DIMENSIONAL CORRECTION OF ERASURES BY IDENTIFICATION OF MULTIPLICITY OF ERROR IN FORWARD AND INVERSE DECODING CHANNELS by N. A. Salas, B. K. Konopelko, A. E. Korolev

“…A method of correcting erasures based on the identification of the multiplicity of errors in two channels (forward and reverse) decoding in two-dimensional coding is proposed. Found that the proposed method makes full use of two-dimensional coding correction capability, by the use of identification errors in the forward and reverse channels, establishing a channel with a smaller number of errors and their correction by two-dimensional code.…”
