Question:
We have already discussed parity check code in the class. The problem is that it cannot detect even-bit errors. In order to handle this issue, we design an advanced parity check as follows: We use multiple parity bits and each parity bit is generated from a different subset of the original data bits. For example, consider the original data have 6 bits. We add two parity bits: The first one is the parity bit of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th bits; the second one is the parity bit of 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th bits. If the original data is 111111, then, the parity bits will be 00. This code can also be represented in a table below. "Y” in column i and row j indicates the ith bit is in the subset to compute the ith parity. (In reality, this is called linear block code.)
