Abstract

In order to effectively design good error-correcting codes for a given application, it is important to know how they work, how to assess the reliability of a given implementation and to be aware of the available codes and its features. In this chapter, a background about error correction is given so the reader can grasp the ideas behind error-correcting codes. Derivations about the confidence of error rate estimates are presented. These derivations turn out to be useful in the assessment of a system reliability when it is not possible to simulate enough codewords to observe a considerable number of errors. Finally, a brief historical review is presented and the authors present their view about promising codes for optical communications.
