Many types of error-correcting techniques exist, but in data communications, Hamming encoding probably finds the widest use. Unlike serial-port communications that use a single parity bit, Hamming ...

He had invented a code for correcting errors in communication and the Hamming code was born. CIO Blast from the Past takes a journey through 60 years of information theory and discovers how the ...

While working for Bell Labs, he developed Hamming codes — the parent of a class of codes that detect, and sometimes correct, errors in everything from error-correcting memory to hard drives.

Turbo Code technology can best be illustrated with an example that uses block codes as the constituent codes. Consider the (8,4) extended Hamming code of Figure 3.

In the following article, Tony Chan-Carusone explores the critical role of Forward Error Correction (FEC) in high-speed wireline networking, particularly with the adoption of PAM4 modulation for ...
