CYCLIC SPOT-ERROR-CORRECTING CODES,
Abstract
The problem of transmitting and storing large amounts of information with high reliability has recently come under investigation. Several methods of adding redundant information to a message have been suggested. The method which we shall investigate is an outgrowth of the parity check. A parity check bit is a single zero or one bit of information added to a binary message so as to make the number of one's in the entire message be of odd or even parity, which ever has been agreed upon. Then, if an odd number of errors occurs in the transmission of a message, this fact is immediately detected by the receiver because the number of ones is of the wrong parity. (Author)
