SOURCE AND ERROR CONTROL CODING



1.What is meant by encoder and decoder?
            The encoder adds redundant bits to the sender’s bit stream to create a codeword. The decoder uses the redundant bits to detect and/or correct as many bit errors as the particular error-control code will allow.
2.What is meant by error control code?
            A set of code-words used with an encoder and decoder to detect error, correct error, or both detect and correct error.
3.Define code word.
            The encoder blocks of ‘n’ bits is called as code word.
            Code word=Message bits + Redundant bits
4.What is meant by code efficiency?
            It is the ratio message bits in a block to the transmitted bits for the block by the encoder.
5.What are the types of error control coding?
            -Forward Error Correction
            -Automatic Repeat Request
