Event description:

Imagine that you are using infrared, Bluetooth, or Airdrop to beam an mp3, picture, or document from your cellphone to your friend's cellphone. It is possible to model the transmitted data as a string of 0s and 1s. When a 0 is sent, the other device usually receives a 0. Occasionally, noise on the channel, perhaps in the form of atmospheric disturbances or hardware malfunctions, causes the 0 to be received as a 1. We would like to know how coding schemes are used to increase the number of errors that can be corrected during transmission.
The lecture will be conducted in English.
