In diversity combining automatic repeat request (ARQ), erroneous packets are combined together forming a single, more reliable, packet. In this thesis, we give a diversity combining scheme for the m-ary unidirectional channel. A system using the given scheme with a t-unidirectional error detecting code is able to correct up to...
An n-bit Gray code is an ordered set of all 2n binary strings of length n. The
special property of this listing is that Hamming distance between consecutive vectors
is exactly 1. If the last and first codeword also have a Hamming distance 1 then the
code is said to...
A relatively new model of error control is the limited magnitude error over high radix channels. In this error model, the error magnitude does not exceed a certain limit known beforehand. In this dissertation, we study systematic error control codes for common channels under the assumption that the maximum error...
