Computing | Forward Error Correction (FEC) A class of methods for controling errors in a one-way communication system. FEC sends extra information along with the data, which can be used by the receiver to check and correct the data. A CPU writing data to RAM is a kind of one-way communication - see error correcting memory and error checking and correction. (1996-10-02). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing. |
