Abstract
A brief discussion of basic encoding and decoding on noisy channels is presented to provide a background for the experimental portion of this research. A portioned 3 state Gilbert model is used to model a burst channel and a method of calculating error-sequence probabilities using this model is introduced. Error sequence probability calculations are made using a (7,3) maximal length code and a (15.7) BCH code. Observations are made about the general type of decoding rule to use to give the lowest probability of decoding error on burst channels when using an interleaving technique.
