In mathematicsand computer science, in the field of coding theory, the Hamming boundis a limit on the parameters of an arbitrary block code: it is alsoknown as the sphere-packing bound or the volume bound from aninterpretation in terms of packing balls in the Hamming metric into thespace of all possible words. It gives an important limitation on theefficiency with which any error correcting code can utilize the space inwhich its code words are embedded. A code which attains the Hammingbound is said to be a perfect code.…
