Essentials of Error-Control Coding
The subject of this book is the detection and correction of errors in digital information. Such<br>errors almost inevitably occur after the transmission, storage or processing of information in<br>digital (mainly binary) form, because of noise and interference in communication channels,<br>or imperfections in storage media, for example. Protecting digital information with a suitable<br>error-control code enables the efficient detection and correction of any errors that may have<br>occurred.
