Introduction

The encoding/decoding model of media research, originally formulated by Stuart Hall (1974) has been influential in cultural studies and the sociology of mass communications. It recalls the tripartite structure of the most elementary of communications models—sender, message, and receiver—but emphasizes the relatively autonomous moments of encoding and decoding and the multiple meanings of television programs in particular. This is because if I started discussing this topic on a serious level, then I'd have to first start with a course in linear algebra. Simultaneously, I would have to prove many theorems in the course of the linear algebra. Further, I was obliged to consider in more detail of cyclic codes, proving along the way too, a considerable number of theorems and auxiliary lemmas. But my problem is to acquaint you with this (very interesting, in my opinion) the subject of so many facts leads to the ditsy without proof. So the question "Why is it so?" I consider, say in the course of execution of course work.

History of encoding/decoding

Code that can correct the error (in the channels of communication in digital computing machines, etc.) in signal processing have been proposed by Hamming before 1948, when it was published by Shannon's famous article "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", which laid a solid foundation of the theory in this area. In this article, Shannon, referring to research carried out in 1947, his colleague at Bell Labs, Richard Hamming, described as an example, a code of length 7, correcting all single errors. The publication of the same original material Hamming on patent reasons was delayed until April 1950 (McGuigan, 2003). It should be noted that the example of correcting the error code in said article of Shannon, has initiated ...
