BCH code

A BCH code is a type of error-correcting code used in digital communication to detect and fix errors that occur during data transmission. It adds extra bits, called redundant bits, to the original data, allowing the receiver to identify and correct mistakes without needing a retransmission. BCH codes are highly flexible and capable of correcting multiple errors, making them reliable for applications like deep-space communication, data storage, and broadcasting. They improve data integrity by ensuring that transmitted information remains accurate even in noisy or imperfect transmission environments.
