Several techniques can be used to efficiently implement a Hamming coder for single-bit error correction and double-bit error detection.

He had invented a code for correcting errors in communication and the Hamming code was born. CIO Blast from the Past takes a journey through 60 years of information theory and discovers how the ...

This provided the impetus for researchers to develop the error detection and correction codes discussed here. Without FEC the world would be quite different.

Second, the codes are typically 7 or 8 bits, which makes for an inefficient use of a 16-bit memory structure. This is handled by using the same memory chip for data and codes. This is referred to as ...
