Name: Hamming Block Code Channel Decoder
ID: m18665
Language: English (en)
Summary: Channel encoding inserts additional information into a transmitted bit stream to facilitate error detection and error correction at the receiver. Block coding breaks up a bit stream 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 the prerequisite project "Hamming Block Code Channel Encoder" you developed a channel encoder using a special class of block code called a Hamming code. In this project, develop the companion channel decoder, and then evaluate the performance of the complete encoder/decoder system.
