Update HammingEncodingPolicy.hpp

[supergohan]

The encoding table does not match the standard Hamming(7,4) codes ... it needs an explanation

Hi @supergohan,

Thank you very much for this contribution.

I don't recall how I choose the encoding table.
I looked at the linked document, but I don't think it really helps.

Could you add a more explicit comment?

Best regards,
Benoit

Dear Benoit, Thank you for contacting me. After spending more time looking at the Hamming (7,4) code, I have found the following two links [1] https://www.gaussianwaves.com/2008/05/hamming-codes-how-it-works/ [2] https://michaeldipperstein.github.io/hamming.html#download ; https://github.com/michaeldipperstein/hamming The last link [2] describes the theory that supports the encoding and decoding table in HammingEncodePolicy.hpp. I am not sure if you could extend the functionality so it could support encoding with Matrices (the code is in github). That will enhance the library as it opens the use of other Hamming codes . I got confused with the definition of the encoding matrix H as it was defined differently in [1] and [2]. However, the implementation is fine (I have attached a Matlab programme) On another note, StreamUtils is really useful and I reckon adding the CRC functionality of https://github.com/RobTillaart/CRCwill be great for network communications. Thank you again for your great work. Best Wishes, Angel El lun, 21 feb 2022 a las 8:16, Benoît Blanchon ***@***.***>) escribió:
