Explains the repetition code for error correction.

Perhaps the simplest error correcting code is the repetition code .

Repetition code

The upper portion depicts the result of directly modulating the bit stream b n into a transmitted signal x t using a baseband BPSK signal set. R ' is the datarate produced by the source coder. If that bitstream passes through a (3,1) channel coder to yield the bit stream c l , the resulting transmitted signal requires a bit interval T three times smaller than the uncoded version. This reduction in the bit intervalmeans that the transmitted energy/bit decreases by a factor of three, which results in an increased error probability in thereceiver.
Here, the transmitter sends the data bit several times, an odd number of times in fact. Because the error probability p e is always less than 1 2 , we know that more of the bits should be correct rather than in error.Simple majority voting of the received bits (hence the reason for the odd number) determines the transmitted bit moreaccurately than sending it alone. For example, let's consider the three-fold repetition code:for every bit b n emerging from the source coder, the channel coder produces three. Thus, the bit stream emerging from the channelcoder c l has a data rate three times higher than that of the original bit stream b n . The coding table illustrates when errors can becorrected and when they can't by the majority-vote decoder.

In this example, the transmitter encodes 0 as 000 . The channel creates an error (changing a 0 into a 1 ) that with probability p e . The first column lists all possible received datawords and thesecond the probability of each dataword being received. The last column shows the results of the majority-vote decoder.When the decoder produces 0 , it successfully corrected the errors introduced by the channel(if there were any; the top row corresponds to the case in which no errors occurred). The error probability of thedecoders is the sum of the probabilities when the decoder produces 1 .
Coding table
Code Probability Bit
000 1 p e 3 0
001 p e 1 p e 2 0
010 p e 1 p e 2 0
011 p e 2 1 p e 1
100 p e 1 p e 2 0
101 p e 2 1 p e 1
110 p e 2 1 p e 1
111 p e 3 1

Thus, if one bit of the three bits is received in error, the receiver can correct the error; if more than oneerror occurs, the channel decoder announces the bit is 1 instead of transmitted value of 0 . Using this repetition code, the probability of b ^ n 0 equals 3 p e 2 1 p e p e 3 . This probability of a decoding error is always less than p e , the uncoded value, so long as p e 1 2 .

Demonstrate mathematically that this claim is indeed true. Is 3 p e 2 1 p e p e 3 p e ?

This question is equivalent to 3 p e 1 p e p e 2 1 or 2 p e 2 3 p e 1 0 . Because this is an upward-going parabola, we need only checkwhere its roots are. Using the quadratic formula, we find that they are located at 1 2 and 1 . Consequently in the range 0 p e 1 2 the error rate produced by coding is smaller.

is it possible to leave every good at the same level

I don't think so. because check it, if the demand for chicken increases, people will no longer consume fish like they used to causing a fall in the demand for fish

is not really possible to let the value of a goods to be same at the same time.....

Suppose the inflation rate is 6%, does it mean that all the goods you purchase will cost 6% more than previous year? Provide with reasoning.
Geetha Reply
Not necessarily. To measure the inflation rate economists normally use an averaged price index of a basket of certain goods. So if you purchase goods included in the basket, you will notice that you pay 6% more, otherwise not necessarily.
