Error Detection and Error Correction

Catalog description

This course covers linear algebraic block codes, convolutional codes, turbo codes, and low-density parity-check codes. The fundamental structure of linear block code will be developed and applied to performance calculations. The structure of cyclic codes will be developed and applied to encoders and decoders. The major error correction methods, including error trapping, majority logic decoding and the BCH encoder and decoder algorithms will be developed. The Viterbi and sequential decoding algorithms will be studied. Questions of system performance, speed and complexity will be examined.
