1 Design a Ternary and Quaternary Huffman code for the following symbols and calculates its 10
code efficiency and redundancy.
Symbols = { A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H } and their corresponding
Probability of occurrence are { 0.24, 0.18, 0.18, 0.15, 0.10, 0.08, 0.04, 0.03 }
Ans:
2 Suppose there is a set of four symbols, i.e., {B, A, C, D, E} with probabilities {0.2, 0.1, 0.3, 0.2, 10
0.2}. The receiver receives 0.696 in terms of real decimal number with an additive noise of 0.02.
At the receiver, the output of the Regenerative Repeater is fetched to Arithmetic decoder.
Construct the transmitted message considering that the receiver stops decoding upto five
symbols.

Decode the Input sequence from the following encoded message
1 3 2 4 8 10 12 11 9 4 5 3 7 17 19 21 7
Ans:
5 For a systematic linear block code , the parity check digits are represented by 10
C5 = d1⨁ d2⨁d3
C6 = d2⨁ d3⨁d4
C7 = d1⨁d3⨁d4
C8 = d1⨁d2

(b) Construct the encoder circuit.
(c) Given a received message R = [1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1] find the syndrome vector and corrected code
word.
