What is valid code word?

The valid codewords are those with an even number of 1-bits. Errors in a single bit tend to be more likely than other errors. Errors in a single bit transform a valid codeword into an invalid codeword, which is easily detected.

How do you check if a codeword is valid or not?

Decoding is very simple, if the received codeword has an odd number of ones, it is considered in error. Unfortunately, if the received block had two, four or any even number of errors, the decoder will miss the error, and accept the block as valid.

What are data words and code words?

In block coding, we divide our message into blocks, each of k bits, called each of k bits, called datawords datawords. We add r redundant bits to each block to make the length n = k + r. The resulting n-bit blocks are called resulting n-bit blocks are called codewords codewords.

What is codeword in error detection?

The codeword, generally larger than the original data, is used as the representation for that data for transmission or storage purposes. An ordered pair notation is often used, (c,d) represents a codeword of c bits encoding a data word of d bits.
