  Binary symmetric channel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Consider a source sending messages through a noisy channel; for example, a CD player reading from a scratched music CD, or a wireless cellphone capturing a weak signal from a relay tower which is too far away.
For simplicity, assume that the message being sent is a sequence of 0's and 1's.
Assume also that the noise of the channel is not dependent on the symbol sent: when a 1 is sent, the probability that a 1 is (correctly) received is

  Binary symmetric channel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In coding theory, a binary symmetric channel (or BSC) is an idealized model of a communications channel that sends bits.
In a BSC, the probability of a 1 becoming a 0 and of a 0 becoming a 1 are assumed to be the same (hence the term symmetric).
Since 1s and 0s may be represented very differently (as a pulse and absence of a pulse, for instance), this assumption is often not valid in practical situations.

 Channel (communications) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Channel, in communications (sometimes called communications channel), refers to the medium through which information is transmitted from a sender (or transmitter) to a receiver.
In wireless communications, the channel is often modeled by a random attenuation (known as fading) of the transmitted signal, followed by additive noise.
In information theory, it is common to start with memoryless channels in which the output probability distribution only depends on the current channel input.

 Digital Revolution (III) - Error Correction Codes
This message may represent an image that has been changed to binary form, sounds that have been changed to binary form, or information that enables one to synchronize the sound and the picture, which would have to be accomplished to make it possible to show an opera on television.
(The binary asymmetric channel handles the case where it is more likely a 0 will be changed to a 1 than a 1 to a 0 or conversely.) We will denote the probability that a bit is unchanged by p, which is a real number somewhere between 0 and 1.
This is often referred to as the binary channel with erasure.

Unlike a BEC, a BSC never outputs a third unknown state, where presumably the voltage is neither high nor low enough to claim the bit as a one or a zero.
The capacity of the BSC is C = 1 + p log2 p + (1-p) log2 (1-p) where p = probability of a bit flip.
If a source with given entropy feeds information to a channel with a given capacity, and if the source entropy is less than the channel capacity, a code exists for which the frequency of errors may be reduced as low as desired.

 CRA-W
The binary-symmetric channel is a channel for which both the input and the output are sequences of the binary digits 0 and 1.
The channel is memoryless, meaning that for every input the probability that the output digit is switched is p, and the probability that the output is the same is 1-p.
The method compares the codes based on their girth (the girth of a node in a graph is defined as the size of the smallest cycle containing that node) distribution, which is a function of the cycles in the bipartite graph representing the code, and selects the best ones according to this function.

Binary Symmetric Channel The model for the BSC is a simple representation for the so called „Hard Decision Additive White Gaussian Noise“ (AWGN) Channel.

The determination of this threshold for a given family of channels is at the heart of the theory and design of low-density parity check codes.
In the simplest case (e.g., binary erasure channel) the thresholds can be determined analytically by investigating the fixed points of a one-dimensional recursion.
Although the capacity of binary input channels without ISI is easy to determine, and so is the capacity of ISI channels without the restriction to binary inputs, the capacity of binary input ISI channels remains unknown.

We consider a binary symmetric channel where the input, modeled as an infinite sequence of bits, is distorted by a Bernoulli noise.

 Extra Problems for Chapter 8
for the typical set for a single random variable, we will calculate the jointly typical set for a pair of random variables connected by a binary symmetric channel, and the probability of error for jointly typical decoding for such a channel.
Thus the channel has both channels available for use, but only one channel can be used at a time.

 Joint Source-Channel Coding
It is well known that using progressive codes in the presence of channel errors leads to disastrous results, since the first error renders the remainder of the bitstream useless.
This experiment shows that even a benign channel can wreck havoc on a progressive bitstream, so some form of error protection (channel coding) is necessary.
For memoryless channels, we have found closed-form expressions for the end-to-end signal to noise ratios and rate allocation.

 Information Theory
A discrete memoryless channel (DMC or d.m.c) is a statistical model which describes the medium through which the symbols flow to the receiver.
In the case of a discrete memoryless channel, the mutual information, I(X;Y), between input X and output Y represents the the uncertainty about the channel input that is resolved by observing the channel output.
If the channel bandwidth B is fixed, then the channel output signal is also band-limited and is characterized by sampling values at the Nyquist rate 2B.
