Error Models

Many other types

Burst errors, i.e., contiguous bursts of bit
errors
output from DFE (error propagation)
common in radio channels
Insertion, deletion and transposition errors

We will consider mainly random errors

Summary
In this section we have
Used block codes to add redundancy to
messages to control the effects of transmission
errors
Encoded and decoded messages using
Hamming codes
Determined overall bit error rates as a function
of the error control strategy
