p4. Introduction to Coding Theory [2] Basic assumptions Definitions Digit : 0 or 1(binary digit) Word : a sequence of digits Example : 0110101 Binary code : a set of words Example : 1. {00,01,10,11}, 2. {0,01,001} Block code : a code having all its words of the same length Example : {00,01,10,11}, 2 is its length Codewords : words belonging to a given code |C| : Size of a code C(#codewords in C)

p5. Introduction to Coding Theory Assumptions about channel 3. The probability of any digit being affected in transmission is the same as the other one. Channel 1. Receiving word by word 2. Identifying the beginning of 1 st word
6
p6. Introduction to Coding Theory Binary symmetric channel reliabilityp: In many books, p denotes crossover probability. Here crossover probability(error prob.) is 1-p
7
p7. Introduction to Coding Theory [3] Correcting and detecting error patterns Any received word should be corrected to a codeword that requires as few changes as possible. Cannot detect any errors !!! Channel correct source parity-check digit Channel correct source

p8. Introduction to Coding Theory [4] Information rate Definition: information rate of code C Examples

p9. Introduction to Coding Theory [5] The effects of error correction and detection 1. No error detection and correction 1 wrong word / 10 sec 6 wrong words / min 360 wrong words / hr 8640 wrong words / day Reliability p=1-10 -8 Then Pr(a word is transmitted incorrectly) = 1-p 11 ≒ 11x10 -8 Transmission rate=10 7 digits/sec 11x10 -8 (wrong words/words)x10 7 /11(words/sec)=0.1 wrong words/sec Let C={0,1} 11 ={0000000000, …, 11111111111}
10
p10. Introduction to Coding Theory 2. parity-check digit added( Code length becomes 12 ) Any single error can be detected ! (3, 5, 7,..errors can be detected too !) Pr(at least 2 errors in a word)=1-p 12 -12 x p 11 (1-p) ≒ 66x10 -16 So 66x10 -16 x 10 7 /12 ≒ 5.5 x 10 -9 wrong words/sec one word error every 2000 days! The cost we pay is to reduce a little information rate + retransmission(after error detection!)
11
p11. Introduction to Coding Theory Task : design codes with reasonable information rates low encoding and decoding costs some error-correcting capabilities 3. 3-repetition code Any single error can be corrected ! Code length becomes 33 and information rate becomes 1/3

p12. Introduction to Coding Theory [6] finding the most likely codeword transmitted Example : BSC channel p : reliability d : #digits incorrectly transmitted n : code length Code length = 5

p13. Theorem 1.6.3 Suppose we have a BSC with ½ < p < 1. Let and be codewords and a word, each of length. Suppose that and disagree in positions and and disagree in positions. Then Introduction to Coding Theory Assume is sent when is received if

p19. Introduction to Coding Theory CMLD : Complete Maximum Likelihood Decoding If only one word v in C closer to w, decode it to v If several words closest to w, select arbitrarily one of them IMLD : Incomplete Maximum Likelihood Decoding If only one word v in C closer to w, decode it to v If several words closest to w, ask for retransmission channel k n decode CMLD IMLD [9] Maximum likelihood decoding Error pattern codeword Source string x w=v+u

p21. Introduction to Coding Theory [10] Reliability of MLD The probability that if v is sent over a BSC of probability p then IMLD correctly concludes that v was sent The higher the probability is, the more correctly the word can be decoded!

Introduction to Coding Theory the distance of the code C : the smallest of d(v,w) in C Theorem 1.11.14 A code C of distance d will at least detect all non-zero error patterns of weight less than or equal to d-1. Moreover, there is at least one error pattern of weight d which C will not detect. t error-detecting code It detects all error patterns of weight at most t and does not detect at least one error pattern of weight t+1 A code with distance d is a d-1 error-detecting code.
