Error correction occurs in decoding because there are only limited legal states available at any node on the graph. When the bit stream contains an illegal code, the decoder knows an error occurred.

The integration of network coding with algebraic coding theory has significantly advanced the efficiency and reliability of communication systems. At its core, network coding involves the intelligent ...

RW’s sister publication TV Technology reports this item of interest: In analog communications, error correction depends on the ability of humans “decoding” the ...

Eliminating errors in next-generation DNA sequencing has proved challenging. Here we present error-correction code (ECC) sequencing, a method to greatly improve sequencing accuracy by combining ...
