Simulation of parallel sequential decoding

A primary concern in the performance analysis of a communication system is reliability -- output error rate as a function of noise in the communication link. Errors introduced by noise can be effectively removed by employing error correcting codes. These codes add controlled redundancy at the input to the link and use this redundancy at the receive end to detect and correct certain classes of errors. This document describes a communication system designed to extract reliable information from data transmitted over a noisy communication link through the use of modified sequential decoding.
