Question

Hamming & SECDED Code

Showing all your working out and intermediate steps.

 a) For data, using 4 Hamming code parity bits determine the maximum number of data bits that can be protected. 

b) A SECDED encoded character has been retrieved, with the hexadecimal value of BE4. You may assume that the SECDED parity is even. 

    i.  Was there an error in transmission? Explain your answer. 

    ii. If there was an error, either correct it (and report the corrected data binary string) or explain why it could not be corrected.  Show your Hamming/SECDED table. Hint: To obtain the original data binary string, you need to remove the parity bits.

Answer #1

a)

M parity bits can cover bits from 1 up to 2^m-1. So 4 bits cover bits 1 to 15.

Minus the four parity bits themselves, and you can cover 11 data bits.
