Error Correction Code refers to a coding technique used in computers to identify and fix errors in data transmission. Unlike error-detecting codes, error correction codes not only detect errors but also attempt to repair them, ensuring reliable data transfer. ...
The central concept in detecting and/or correcting errors is redundancy in that the number of bits transmitted is intentionally over and above the required information bits. The transmitter sends the information bits along with some extra (also known as parity) bits. The receiver uses the redundant...
