Error probability is a concept used in various fields such as telecommunications, signal processing, and information theory to measure the likelihood of errors occurring in a system or communication channel. It is typically defined as the probability that a received signal or message is different from the original or intended signal due to noise, interference, or other factors. Researchers in this area focus on studying and analyzing different error correction techniques, encoding schemes, modulation methods, and channel models to minimize error probability and improve the reliability and performance of communication systems. They also investigate the impact of various factors such as signal-to-noise ratio, coding rate, and channel conditions on error probability to design more efficient and robust communication systems.
