This new idea is motivated by the limitations of the reading process in high-density data storage technologies. Yaakobi et al. (IEEE Trans Inf Theory 62(4):1541-1551, 2016 [8]) introduced codes for b-symbol read channels, where the read operation is performed as a consecutive sequence of b > 2 symbols. In this paper, we come up with a method to compute the b-symbol-pair distance of two n-tuples, where n is a positive integer. Also, we deal with the b-symbol-pair distances of some kind of cyclic codes of length p(e) over F-pm.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessB-Symbol PairDistance DistributionCyclic CodesConference Object2-s2.0-8504360014110.1007/978-3-319-74195-6_17N/A1228N/AWOS:000451336500001
