A coding system using the binary digits 0 and 1 to represent a letter, digit, or other character in a computer or other electronic device.

The number of positions at which the corresponding symbols are different in two strings of equal length.

A coding scheme in which a fixed-length block of bits is encoded into a fixed-length block of n bits, where n is greater than the original block length.

The rate at which information can be transmitted over a communication channel, measured in bits per unit time.

The process of identifying and correcting errors in data transmission or storage.

A bit that is added to a group of bits to ensure that the number of bits with the value one is even or odd.

An error-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to raw data.

A set of error-correction code that can detect up to two-bit errors or correct one-bit errors without detection of uncorrected errors.

The tightest upper bound on the amount of information that can be reliably transmitted over a communications channel.

A theorem in information theory which states that for any given degree of noise contamination of a communication channel, it is possible to transmit information nearly error-free up to a computable maximum rate through the channel.

The measure of the improvement in signal-to-noise ratio of a communication system from the use of coding.
