Forward error correction is sending extra information along with some data so if any of it gets corrupted then the original data can be reconstructed. Hamming codes are a simple form of Forward error correction and can correct all 1 bit errors, and detect all 2 bit errors. Reed solomon codes can (I believe) correct up to about 25% of errors with a 33% overhead. |
