Abstract:
We propose the construction of a non-binary multiple insertion/deletion correcting code based on a binary multiple insertion/deletion correcting code. In essence, it is a generalisation of Tenengol’ts’ non-binary single insertion/deletion correcting code. We evaluate the cardinality of the proposed construction based on the asymptotic upper bound on the cardinality of a maximal binary multiple insertion/deletion correcting code derived by Levenshtein.
