Abstract: A method of lattice-quantizing an eight-long data point to minimize storage requirements and computational complexity by acquiring the data point, multiplying each coordinate of the data point by the square root of two to form an inflated data point, rounding each coordinate of the rounded and inflated data point to the nearest integer, reducing modulo-two each coordinate of the rounded and inflated data point to form an initial codeword, multiplying a parity-check matrix of an eight-bit Extending Hamming Code by the result of the last step to form a syndrome, correcting any single-bit errors and double-bit errors, if any, in the initial codeword and the rounded and inflated data point, creating a signal packet if the codeword does not contain any single-bit errors and double-bit errors, and transmitting the signal packet to a receiver.
