They have applications in the design of experiments and in error correcting codes.

The parameter d is closely related to the error correcting ability of the code.

Even higher speeds are possible with buffered or error correcting modems.

This class of error correcting codes was published by Hocquenghem in 1959.

This leads to the error correcting viterbi algorithm in data transmission.

This property allows many error correcting codes to function normally even when applied before encryption.

The use of a torus is not required to form an error correcting code.

Interleaving is frequently used in digital communication and storage systems to improve the performance of forward error correcting codes.

Therefore, the error correcting ability of the interleaved code is exactly .

Without error correcting codes, digital audio would not be technically feasible.
