Blocklength
Blocklength is a term used in the field of information theory and coding, particularly in the context of channel coding and data compression. It refers to the number of bits or symbols that are processed together as a single unit in a coding scheme. The concept of blocklength is fundamental in understanding the performance and efficiency of various coding techniques.
In channel coding, blocklength determines the size of the blocks into which the input data is divided
In data compression, blocklength refers to the size of the blocks of data that are compressed independently.
The choice of blocklength is a trade-off between performance, complexity, and practical considerations. In many applications,
