A low code-rate close to zero implies a strong code that uses many redundant bits to achieve a good performance, while a large code-rate close to 1 implies a weak code. The redundant bits that protect the information have to be transferred using the same communication resources that they are trying to protect.
Compute forward probabilities Compute backward probabilities β {\displaystyle \beta } Compute smoothed probabilities based on other information (i.e. noise variance for AWGN , bit crossover probability for binary symmetric channel )
The analysis of errors computed using the global positioning system is important for understanding how GPS works, and for knowing what magnitude errors should be expected. The Global Positioning System makes corrections for receiver clock errors and other effects but there are still residual errors which are not corrected.
The forward–backward algorithm runs with time complexity () in space (), where is the length of the time sequence and is the number of symbols in the state alphabet. [1] The algorithm can also run in constant space with time complexity O ( S 2 T 2 ) {\displaystyle O(S^{2}T^{2})} by recomputing values at each step. [ 2 ]
If she sent her phone number in pieces, asking Bob to acknowledge receipt of each piece, at least four messages would have to be sent anyway (two from Alice, and two acknowledgments from Bob). So the erasure code in this example, which requires five messages, is quite economical. This example is a little bit contrived.
If the channel quality is bad, and not all transmission errors can be corrected, the receiver will detect this situation using the error-detection code, then the received coded data block is rejected and a re-transmission is requested by the receiver, similar to ARQ.
The general algorithm involves message passing and is substantially similar to the belief propagation algorithm (which is the generalization of the forward-backward algorithm). With an algorithm called iterative Viterbi decoding, one can find the subsequence of an observation that matches best (on average) to a given hidden Markov model.
Reverse accumulation is more efficient than forward accumulation for functions f : R n → R m with n ≫ m as only m sweeps are necessary, compared to n sweeps for forward accumulation. Backpropagation of errors in multilayer perceptrons, a technique used in machine learning , is a special case of reverse accumulation.
