(a) Describe the relative merits and demerits of block codes and convolution codes. (6 marks) (b) The minimum Hamming distance of a block code is dmin 11. Determine the error- (2 marks) correction and error-detection capability of this code. (c) Write down the parity check and generator matrices for the triple repetition block code R(3.1). (4 marks) (d) What is the error-correcting capability of the above code? (2 marks) (e) Construct the table of all the possible received vectors and calculate the corresponding syndrome vectors to determine correctable and detectable error patterns, according to the error-correction capability of the code.
