FPGA implementation of low bandwidth ECC code

In this paper a method to detect two simultaneous bit errors and correct a single bit error during data transmission is devised. The proposed method is developed based on Hamming Code. The key point for the implementation of error-free data transmission is the encoding of the information to be transmitted in such a way that some extent of redundancy is included in the encoded data, and a method for efficient decoding at the receiver is available. These two requirements have been achieved in the new method in an efficient and simple way. In this paper, one bandwidth reduction technique is included along with Hamming code. The proposed method is implemented using XILINX, and has been demonstrated through examples.
