Studying Single Parity Check Codes and its Error Correction

Abstract

Single Parity Check is a widely used method for identifying a single-bit error within transmitted data. It involves ensuring that the parity of a specific bit, such as '1', remains either even or odd during transmission, and is subsequently verified upon receipt of the data. Detection of an error occurs if the parity of the designated bit differs. However, this technique is limited to detecting single-bit errors and is ineffective in detecting burst errors.
