Decoded Signal (ŝ)
This visualization demonstrates the R3 encoding strategy and majority vote decoding in information theory:
- The original signal is encoded by creating three identical copies (R3 strategy)
- Each copy passes through a noisy channel where bits may flip with probability f
- The decoder uses majority voting from the three received copies to reconstruct the original signal
- This technique reduces the probability of decoded bit errors significantly
