Some new results on majority-logic codes for correction of random errors
thesis
posted on 2018-08-17, 08:48 authored by David McQuiltonThe main advantages of random error-correcting majority-logic
codes and majority-logic decoding in general are well known and
two-fold. Firstly, they offer a partial solution to a classical
coding theory problem, that of decoder complexity. Secondly, a
majority-logic decoder inherently corrects many more random error
patterns than the minimum distance of the code implies is possible.
The solution to the decoder complexity is only a partial one
because there are circumstances under which a majority-logic decoder
is too complex and expensive to implement. [Continues.]
