### rate 1/128 channel code for 5 bits of information

I need to construct channel code for 5 bits of information for a wireless channel. Possible code rate could be as low as 1/128 (very reliable). At decoder I assume to use channel LLRs as decoder input ...

### Is there better than hamming code for correcting errors

As known, hamming code can be represented by (7,4) where data are 4 bits, and 3 bits for parity, and (15,11) where 11 bits are data and 4 bits for parity. It can correct up to one bit, or detect two ...

### Shannon capacity with distribution different from Gaussian

If I understand correctly, in AWGN channel, for a given SNR, there is a code for $M$ input codeword $\mathbf{X}_{i, 1 \leq i \leq M}$ that \lim_{n \to \infty} R=\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{\log(M)}{n} ...
