Noisy communication Let be a small constant. Consider communication in a very noisy
environment in which a sent bit will be received as with probability
and will be received as
with probability
Similarly for a sent bit it will be received as with probability
and
will be received as with probability
To encode a single bit b one can use a repetition code
of length n in which the n length word consisting of repeating bit b ntimes is sent. At the decoder, if
more s than s were received, the decoded bit b is set to and otherwise to Communication is
successful if the message bit b equals the decoded bit b Use the bounds presented in class to compute
a lower bound for n as a function of such that the decoding error will be at most e That is
specify how large n needs to be in order to obtain a decoding error less that e Prove your answer
in detail. Specify in detail which bounds were used.
