Coding Theory
Syndrome decoding is a technique used in error-correcting codes that helps identify and correct errors in received messages by analyzing the discrepancy between the received code and the expected code. This method relies on calculating the syndrome, which is derived from the parity-check matrix of the code. The syndrome provides essential information about the presence and location of errors, enabling efficient correction processes in various coding strategies.
