Keywords: Hamming code, error-correction code, digital communication, data storage, reliable transmission, computer memory systems, satellite communication systems, single-bit error, two-bit errors. What is a Hamming Code Hamming codes are a class of error-correcting codes that are commonly employed in digital communication and data storage systems to detect and correct errors that may occur during transmission … Read more
Shannon theorem dictates the maximum data rate at which the information can be transmitted over a noisy band-limited channel. The maximum data rate is designated as channel capacity. The concept of channel capacity is discussed first, followed by an in-depth treatment of Shannon’s capacity for various channels. Introduction The main goal of a communication system … Read more
Random Variable: In a “coin-flipping” experiment, the outcome is not known prior to the experiment, that is we cannot predict it with certainty (non-deterministic/stochastic). But we know the all possible outcomes – Head or Tail. Assign real numbers to the all possible events (this is called “sample space”), say “0” to “Head” and “1” to … Read more
