Duplication code - error correction

59 Views Asked by At

Explain how the duplication code given by {00,11,22} with letters in the set $\mathbb{Z}$/3 can detect one error.

If I were to construct a table of Hamming distances, I would show that the minimal distance is 2, and thus the error detection is 1 because C is n error detecting iff the minimal distance is $\geq$ n+1

Is this correct?
