How does error correction code work?
The central idea is the sender encodes the message with redundant information in the form of an ECC. The redundancy allows the receiver to detect a limited number of errors that may occur anywhere in the message, and often to correct these errors without retransmission.
What is an acceptable error rate?
An acceptable database error rate should be defined prior to the study beginning, and must be considerably below 1%. Finally, any decision about the error rate depends on the aims of the study. It is often defined at 0.1% level. Database error rate can be reduced through the process of data validation.
Is the bit error rate proportional to Eb / No?
It is important to note that POE is proportional to Eb/No and is a form of signal to noise ratio. It is possible to define the bit error rate in terms of a probability of error. N o = power spectral density (noise in 1Hz bandwidth). It is important to note that E b / N o is a form of signal to noise ratio.
What causes the degradation of the bit error rate?
The main reasons for the degradation of a data channel and the corresponding bit error rate, BER is noise and changes to the propagation path (where radio signal paths are used). Both effects have a random element to them, the noise following a Gaussian probability function while the propagation model follows a Rayleigh model.
How is the maximum fraction of errors can be corrected?
The maximum fractions of errors or of missing bits that can be corrected is determined by the design of the ECC code, so different error correcting codes are suitable for different conditions.
