Villuleiðréttingarkóðar
Villuleiðréttingarkóðar, often translated as error-correcting codes, are systems designed to detect and correct errors that may occur during data transmission or storage. These errors can arise from various sources, such as noise in communication channels, electromagnetic interference, or imperfections in storage media. The fundamental principle behind error-correcting codes is the addition of redundant information to the original data. This redundancy allows the receiver to not only identify if an error has occurred but also to determine the original, correct data.
There are two main categories of error-correcting codes: forward error correction (FEC) and automatic repeat request
Common examples of error-correcting codes include Hamming codes, Reed-Solomon codes, and convolutional codes. These codes vary
