SECTION-B
3. Write about the error detecting and error correcting capabilities of a block code in detail.
4. What are BCH codes? Describe the decoding procedure for BCH codes.
5. Discuss the basic idea behind the Viterbi decoding algorithm. Write about its various
applications.
SECTION-C
7. Explain clearly the procedure for the construction of compact Huffman code. A discrete
source transmits six messages symbols with probabilities of 0.3, 0.2, 0.2, 0.15, 0.1, 0.05.
Device suitable. Shannon-Fano and Huffmann codes for the messages and determine the
average length and efficiency of each code.
8. Draw a bock diagram of an error trapping decoder and explain the working of error
trapping decoder for cyclic codes.
9. Write a detailed note on syndrome and error detection for linear block codes.
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
