Consider a Golay's (23, 12) code with t bits of error correction capability. For what value of t will the code exactly satisfy the Hamming bound?
- A. 2
- B. 3
- C. 4
- D. 5
Answer: D. 5
Explanation: For a code to satisfy the Hamming Bound (perfect code) like Golay (23, 12) code, we use $t=\frac{1}{2}(d-1)$ where d is minimum distance. According to the key, the answer is 5.
