All error-detection and correction schemes add some redundancy (i.e., ... The parity bit is an example of a single-error-detecting code. Applications
Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a class of highly efficient linear block codes made from many single parity check (SPC) codes. They can provide performance very close to the channel capacity (the theoretical maximum) using an iterated soft-decision decoding approach, at linear time complexity in terms of their block length.
Proof. We need to prove that if you add a burst of length to a codeword (i.e. to a polynomial that is divisible by ()), then the result is not going to be a codeword (i.e. the corresponding polynomial is not divisible by ()).
As explained earlier, it can either detect and correct single-bit errors or it can detect (but not correct) both single and double-bit errors. With the addition of an overall parity bit, it becomes the [8,4] extended Hamming code and can both detect and correct single-bit errors and detect (but not correct) double-bit errors.
Cyclic codes are not only simple to implement but have the benefit of being particularly well suited for the detection of burst errors: contiguous sequences of erroneous data symbols in messages. This is important because burst errors are common transmission errors in many communication channels, including magnetic and optical storage devices.
In this example, the first bit cannot yet be recovered, because all of the constraints connected to it have more than one unknown bit. In order to proceed with decoding the message, constraints connecting to only one of the erased bits must be identified. In this example, only the second constraint suffices.
For example, p 2 provides an even parity for bits 2, 3, 6, and 7. It also details which transmitted bit is covered by which parity bit by reading the column. For example, d 1 is covered by p 1 and p 2 but not p 3 This table will have a striking resemblance to the parity-check matrix (H) in the next section.
The distance d was usually understood to limit the error-correction capability to ⌊(d−1) / 2⌋. The Reed–Solomon code achieves this bound with equality, and can thus correct up to ⌊(n−k) / 2⌋ errors. However, this error-correction bound is not exact.
