The performance of BCH barcodes.

BCH barcodes of size N ≤ 25 constrained to accomplish M ≥ 24 and pu ≤ 10−8 over a QSC model where mismatch errors occur with probability ps = 10−2. M, B, pe and pu are respectively the empirical estimates of the multiplexing capacity, the barcoding rate, the probability of barcodes identification error and the probability of undetected multiplexing errors; pe+ and pu+ are the upper error bars of the two latter ones. Underlying codes are binary BCH codes of size n shortened to n − s able to carry k − s informative bits and to correct at least t binary errors.The performance of BCH barcodes.
