Block-Coding Techniques for Reliable Data Transmission
Robert Tien-Wen Chien · IEEE Transactions on Communication Technology · 1971
Block coding has been in wide use in the errordetection and retransmission mode. It has also been used in some systems with a combination of forward error correction and retransmission techniques. In this paper, a brief survey and discription of those block-coding techniques is given that are likely to be useful in practical data transmission systems.
