ERROR STATISTICS AND CODING FOR BINARY TRANSMISSION OVER TELEPHONE CIRCUITS

Abstract

Commercial transmission of digital data over telephone circuits is capable of providing an overall error probability on the order of 0.00001, but in many situations, lower error probabilities are either needed or highly desirable. The efficient combination of coding with existing digital data systems to provide these lower error rates is discussed.
