Abstract

This chapter deals with linear block codes covering their fundamental concepts, generator and parity check matrices, error-correcting capabilities, encoding and decoding, and performance analysis. The linear block codes discussed in this chapter are Hamming codes, cyclic codes, binary BCH codes, and Reed–Solomon codes.
