The standard geometric codes

TL;DR: The Mathematical Theory of Communication (MTOC) as discussed by the authors was originally published as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago and has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings.

TL;DR: The author was led to the study given in this paper from a consideration of large scale computing machines in which a large number of operations must be performed without a single error in the end result.

TL;DR: In this paper all error detecting and error correcting mechanisms are studied and best mechanism on the basis of accuracy, complexity and power consumption is selected.

TL;DR: To understand the theoretical framework upon which error-control codes are built and then Algebraic Codes for Data Transmission by Richard E. Blahut, needed, several examples to illustrate the performance of the approximation scheme in practice are needed.
