Correction is not possible with one parity bit since any bit error in any position creates exactly the same information as bad parity. If more bits are integrated ...

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 ...

In this month's look at the history of cybersecurity, David Kalat looks back at how one man's frustration at losing time led to one of the great breakthroughs in information theory. Telecommunications ...

You may not know the name [Richard Hamming], but you definitely use some of his work. While working for Bell Labs, he developed Hamming codes — the parent of a class of codes that detect, and ...

The integration of network coding with algebraic coding theory has significantly advanced the efficiency and reliability of communication systems. At its core, network coding involves the intelligent ...
