 Block Coding
• Error-control coding techniques detect and
possibly correct errors that occur when
messages are transmitted in a digital
communication system.

• To accomplish this, the encoder transmits not

only the information symbols but also extra
redundant symbols.

 Block Coding
• The decoder interprets what it receives, using the
redundant symbols to detect and possibly correct
whatever errors occurred during transmission.

• You might use error-control coding if your

transmission channel is very noisy or if your data
is very sensitive to noise.

• Depending on the nature of the data or noise,

you might choose a specific type of error-control
coding.

 Block Coding
• Block coding is a special case of error-control
coding.

• Block coding techniques maps a fixed number

of message symbols to a fixed number of code
symbols.

• A block coder treats each block of data

independently and is a memory-less device.

 Building the Model
• To start building the model, follow these steps:

• Type commlib at the MATLAB prompt.

This opens the Communications Blockset main library.

• Type dsplib at the MATLAB prompt.

This opens the DSP Blockset main library.

• Type simulink3 at the MATLAB prompt.

This opens the Main Simulink Library.

• From the library's File menu, select New and then select Model.
