Hammingkoodin
Hammingkoodin, or Hamming code, is a type of linear error-correcting code. It was invented by Richard Hamming in 1950. Hamming codes are used to detect and correct bit errors that can occur during data transmission or storage. They are a simple yet effective form of forward error correction, meaning the receiver can correct errors without needing the sender to retransmit the data.
The core principle of a Hamming code is the addition of parity bits to the original data
Hamming codes are particularly efficient for detecting and correcting single-bit errors. They can also detect, but
Due to their simplicity and efficiency for single-bit error correction, Hamming codes have found applications in
