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.

why is communication effective
Dakolo Reply
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills

What are the treatment for autism?
Magret Reply
hello. autism is a umbrella term. autistic kids have different disorder overlapping. for example. a kid may show symptoms of ADHD and also learning disabilities. before treatment please make sure the kid doesn't have physical disabilities like hearing..vision..speech problem. sometimes these
Jharna
continue.. sometimes due to these physical problems..the diagnosis may be misdiagnosed. treatment for autism. well it depends on the severity. since autistic kids have problems in communicating and adopting to the environment.. it's best to expose the child in situations where the child
Jharna
child interact with other kids under doc supervision. play therapy. speech therapy. Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game. string and beads game. the more you interact with the child the more effective
Jharna
results you'll get.. please consult a therapist to know what suits best on your child. and last as a parent. I know sometimes it's overwhelming to guide a special kid. but trust the process and be strong and patient as a parent.
