16-bit messages are transmitted using a Hamming code. How many check bits are needed to ensure that the receiver can detect and correct single-bit errors? Show the bit pattern transmitted for the message 1101001100110101. Assume that even parity is used in the Hamming code.

    Answer: 5 check bits are needed

    Explanation:

    We know that

    m + r + 1 = 2r

    For m = 16, r = 5.

    Therefore we need 5 check bits for 16-bit messages.

    For message 1101001100110101, we know the codeword should be:**1*101*0011001*10101, in which bit 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 are check bits to becomputed.

    3 = 1 + 2

    5 = 1 + 4

    6 = 2 + 4

    7 = 1 + 2 + 4

    9 = 1 + 8

    10 = 2 + 8

    11 = 1 + 2 + 8

    12 = + 4 + 8

    13 = 1 + 4 + 8

    14 = 2 + 4 + 8

    15 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8

    16 = + 2 + 2 + 4 + 8
