MIT News  September 9, 2021 An international team of researchers (USA – MIT, Boston University, Ireland) has created the first silicon chip which, unlike most error correcting codes, is able to decode any code, regardless of its structure, with maximum accuracy, using a universal decoding algorithm called Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoding (GRAND). GRAND works by guessing the noise that affected the message and uses the noise pattern to deduce the original information. It generates a series of noise sequences in the order they are likely to occur, subtracts them from the received data, and checks to see if the […]
