TLDR
In this correspondence a complete decoding algorithm for double-error-correcting binary BCH codes of length n = 2^m - 1 is introduced, based on the step-by-step decoding algorithm introduced by Prange and the decoding algorithms introduced by Meggitt, which makes use of the cyclic properties of the code.
Abstract
In this correspondence a complete decoding algorithm for double-error-correcting binary BCH codes of length n = 2^m - 1 is introduced. It corrects all patterns of one and two errors and all patterns of three errors that belong to cosets that have a coset leader of weight three. This algorithm is based on the step-by-step decoding algorithm introduced by Prange and the decoding algorithm introduced by Meggitt, which makes use of the cyclic properties of the code. A comparison between this method and previously existing ones is also given.

A complete decoding algorithm for double-error-correcting primitive binary BCH codes of odd m

TL;DR: Since this code is a quasi-perfect code [l], a complete decoding algorithm should be capable of correcting 2”Pk error vectors that include all of the error vectors of weight equal to or less than 2 and some error vector of weight 3.

Cyclic decoding procedures for Bose- Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem codes

TL;DR: New general error-correction procedures for class of codes known as Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem codes are presented and it is shown that these procedures are efficient in time required for error-Correction, and that they can be implemented with relatively simple electronic circuits.

Two-error correcting Bose-Chaudhuri codes are quasi-perfect

TL;DR: It is shown that all two-error correcting Bose-Chaudhuri codes are close-packed and therefore optimum, and a method is given for finding cosets of large weight in t > 2- error correcting BOSE-Choudhuri code, which suggests that no other nontrivial codes areClose-packed.

Error correcting codes for correcting bursts of errors

TL;DR: It is observed that the codes of Abramson, Melas and others are essentially described by the characteristic equation that a certain matrix satisfies and it is found that transformations of these codes are possible provided that the characteristic equations is preserved.
