Abstract
A special kind of codes with bounded deciphering delay, called k-comma-free codes, is considered. The advantage in using these codes is that the decoding can begin “anywhere” in a coded message. This means that a coded message can be deciphered even when it might be lost partially. Related families of codes with bounded deciphering delay are also considered. Criteria to test these codes are established in a unified way.
