Hamming code checking

1.1.1 Hamming Code Mechanism

Hamming code is a mechanism for error detection and correction. When the huge data are transmitted from the sender to the receiver, it may be errors occurred. Redundant extra bits are generated and added with the information bits of data. It ensures error free data transmission from source to destination [19].

The formula of redundant bits is calculated ≥ m + r + 1, here r is the redundant bits, m is used for data bits. For an example number of data bits is 8, the amount of redundant bits is calculated by formula ≥ 8 + 4 + 1 and the amount of redundant bits are 4 [19].
