Description: Provides an overview of basic error-cor- recting techniques used in data transmission and stor- age. Topics include groups and Galois fields, error- correction capability and code design of Hamming codes, cyclic codes, Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquengem (BCH) codes, and Reed-Solomon codes. Also consid- ers concatenated design and decoding techniques.
