Samenvatting
In several practical settings we wish to communicate
an identifier based on flashing lights. Examples hereof are the
brain computer interface using steady state evoked potentials
(SSVEP) and device identification using LED’s. The communication
channels here use small alphabets, are error prone,
unsynchronized, and require short code words. Nevertheless the
number of identifiers is relatively large. We model this situation
as a cyclic shift channel where the shift length equals the code
wordlength. We study the behaviour of the capacity of this
channel and define a class of self synchronized error correcting
codes. For this class we define a (Hamming) distance measure
and prove a triangle inequality and thus show the feasibility of
minimum distance decoding. We end with some code examples.
