Error control in the GCF: An information-theoretic model for error analysis and coding

The structure of data-transmission errors within the Ground Communications Facility is analyzed in order to provide error control (both forward error correction and feedback retransmission) for improved communication. Emphasis is placed on constructing a theoretical model of errors and obtaining from it all the relevant statistics for error control. No specific coding strategy is analyzed, but references to the significance of certain error pattern distributions, as predicted by the model, to error correction are made.

A Markov model for NASA's Ground Communications Facility

A 'natural' way of constructing finite-state Markov chains (FSMC) is presented for those noise burst channels that can be modeled by them. In particular, a five-state Markov chain is given as a model of errors occurring at the Ground Communications Facility (GCF). A maximum likelihood procedure applicable to any FSMC is developed for estimating all the model parameters starting from the data of error runs. A few of the statistics important for estimating the performance of error control strategies on the channel are provided.
