Decoding Hamming Codes:
		n The direct way is to measure the Hamming distance between the transmitted code word and all possible code words (16 in the past example). The minimum distance gives the correct transmitted code word. n In practice, syndrome decoding is used. n In syndrome decoding the received code word is multiplied by a matrix called the parity check matrix or the H matrix (G×H = 0) n The result indicates the error pattern (if any).
