Comma-Free Code
  • A code constructed such that any partial code word, beginning at the start of a code word but terminating prior to the end of that code word, is not a valid code word.
  • Note 1: The comma-free property permits the proper framing of transmitted code words, provided that: (a) external synchronization is provided to identify the start of the first code word in a sequence of code words, and (b) no uncorrected errors occur in the symbol stream.
  • Note 2: Huffman codes (variable length) are examples of comma-free codes. Synonym prefix-free code. See also code, self-synchronizing code.
