The Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem Code (BCH Code) is a type of error-correcting code used in digital communication systems. It helps ensure that data transmitted over noisy channels remains accurate by detecting and correcting errors. BCH codes are particularly useful in applications like CDs, DVDs, and QR codes, where data integrity is crucial.
These codes are constructed using polynomial mathematics, allowing them to correct multiple random errors in a block of data. The flexibility of BCH codes makes them popular in various technologies, including telecommunications and data storage. Their ability to maintain data reliability is essential for modern digital communication.
