Synchronization Errors in an Adaptive Quantizer

For an adaptive quantizer with an adjustable range and unequal code-word lengths, formulas are obtained for the probability of incorrect determination of word length at the receiving end of the communications line for redundant and nonredundant coding. The communications channel is assumed to be a binary symmetrical memoryless channel. Redundant coding is achieved by increasing the prefix symbols in the code word and eliminating some words from the code table.
