Name: Hamming Block Code Channel Encoder
ID: m18663
Language: English (en)
Summary: Channel encoding inserts additional information into a transmitted bitstream to facilitate error detection and error correction at the receiver. Block coding breaks up a bitstream into words of length k bits and appends check bits to form a codeword of length n bits. A corresponding channel decoder examines the complete codeword, and detects and even corrects certain types of erroneous bits caused by the channel. In this project, develop a channel encoder using a special class of block code called a Hamming code. In a follow-on project, develop a companion channel decoder, and then evaluate the performance of the complete encoder/decoder system.
