Abstract

Tutorially presented are theoretical and practical concepts that underlie error-control coding for data computing, storage, and transmission systems. Emphasis is on cyclic codes, the most deeply studied and widely used of the many available codes. Operations of typical binary shift registers illustrate the encoding and decoding processes. Strategic considerations for applying coding to computer-communication systems are discussed. Actual applications further exemplify the basis for code selection.
