ERROR CONTROL CODING |

I. INTRODUCTION Introduction
to Error control coding : First,
data is digitally recorded and compressed. Next, the data is encoded
by error control coding. Following that, it is modulated from digital
data to an analog signal and is amplified for transmission through the
channel. On the receiving end, an analog signal is received and demodulated
back to a digital signal. The data is then processed in the error control
decoder, using the redundancy to correct the errors that occurred in
transmission. Finally, the data is uncompressed and presented. The result
is what you hear and see on your digital radio, digital TV, and computer.
Some media types, as shown below in Table 1.1 [1], are very sensitive
to errors. It is especially important to keep errors in these transmissions
as low as possible.
