Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of finding, evaluating, and selecting the best set of codewords for the 4b/10b line code, a dependable line code with forward error correction (FEC) designed for real-time communication. Based on the results of our scheme [1], we formulate codeword search as an instance of the maximum clique problem, and enumerate all candidate codeword sets via maximum clique enumeration as proposed by Eblen et al. [2]. We then measure each set in terms of resistance to bit errors caused by noise and present a canonical set of codewords for the 4b/10b line code. Additionally, we show that maximum clique enumeration is #P-hard.
