Depending on the nature of the link and the data one can either: include just enough redundancy to how cyclic redundancy check is used in error detection make it possible to detect errors and then arrange for the retransmission of

take the former approach. One widely used parity bit based error detection scheme is the cyclic redundancy check or CRC. The CRC is based on some fairly impressive looking mathematics. It is helpful
Crc And Error Correction
as you deal with its mathematical description that you recall that it is ultimately just a way to use parity bits. The presentation of the CRC is based on two simple but not quite "everyday" bits of mathematics: polynomial division arithmetic over the field of integers mod 2. Arithmetic over the field of integers mod 2 is simply arithmetic on single bit binary numbers with all data crc carries (overflows) ignored. So 1 + 1 = 0 and so does 1 - 1. In fact, addition and subtraction are equivalent in this form of arithmetic. Polynomial division isn't too bad either. There is an algorithm for performing polynomial division that looks a lot like the standard algorithm for integer division. More interestingly from the point of view of understanding the CRC, the definition of division (i.e. the definition of the quotient and remainder) are parallel. When one says "dividing a by b produces quotient q with remainder r" where all the quantities involved are positive integers one really means that a = q b + r and that 0 <=r < b When one says "dividing a by b produces quotient q with remainder r" where all the quantities are polynomials, one really means the same thing as when working with integers except that the meaning of "less than" is a bit different. For polynomials, less than means of lesser degree. So, the remainder of a polynomial division must be a polynomial of degree less than the divisor. Now, we can put this all together to explain the idea behind the CRC. Any p
Redundancy Check) Data is sent with a checksum. When arrives, checksum is recalculated. Should match the one that was sent. Bitstring represents polynomial. e.g. 110001 represents: 1 . x5 + 1 . cyclic redundancy check error sims 3 x4 + 0 . x3 + 0 . x2 + 0 . x1 + cyclic redundancy check error on external hard drive 1 . x0 = x5 + x4 + x0 The order of a polynomial is the power of the highest non-zero cyclic redundancy check error raw drive coefficient. This is polynomial of order 5. Special case: We don't allow bitstring = all zeros. Easy to use framing or stuffing to make framed-and-stuffed transmission never all-zero, while still allowing payload within it to http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~scheideler/courses/600.344_S02/CRC.html be all-zero. hash functions CRC Origin in research of W. Wesley Peterson: W.W. Peterson and D.T. Brown, "Cyclic codes for error detection", Proceedings of the IRE, Volume 49, pages 228-235, Jan 1961. W.W. Peterson, Error Correcting Codes, MIT Press 1961. Modulo 2 arithmetic We are going to define a particular field (or here), in fact the smallest field there is, with only 2 members. We define addition and subtraction as http://www.computing.dcu.ie/~humphrys/Notes/Networks/data.polynomial.html modulo 2 with no carries or borrows. This means addition = subtraction = XOR. Here's the rules for addition: 0 + 0 = 0 0 + 1 = 1 1 + 0 = 1 1 + 1 = 0 Multiplication: 0 * 0 = 0 0 * 1 = 0 1 * 0 = 0 1 * 1 = 1 Subtraction: if 1+1=0, then 0-1=1, hence: 0 - 0 = 0 0 - 1 = 1 1 - 0 = 1 1 - 1 = 0 Long division is as normal, except the subtraction is modulo 2. Example No carry or borrow: 011 + (or minus) 110 --- 101 Consider the polynomials: x + 1 + x2 + x ------------- x2 + 2x + 1 = x2 + 1 We're saying the polynomial arithmetic is modulo 2 as well, so that: 2 xk = 0 for all k.

Just consider this as a set of rules which, if followed, yield certain results. When the checksum is re-calculated by the receiver, we should get the same results. All sorts of rule sets could be used to d
a key word k that is known to both the transmitter and the receiver. The remainder r left after dividing M by k constitutes the "check word" for the given message. http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath458.htm The transmitter sends both the message string M and the check word r, and the receiver can then check the data by repeating the calculation, dividing M by the key word k, and verifying that the remainder is r. The only novel aspect of the CRC process is that it uses a simplified form of arithmetic, which we'll explain below, in order to perform the division. By the way, this method of checking cyclic redundancy for errors is obviously not foolproof, because there are many different message strings that give a remainder of r when divided by k. In fact, about 1 out of every k randomly selected strings will give any specific remainder. Thus, if our message string is garbled in transmission, there is a chance (about 1/k, assuming the corrupted message is random) that the garbled version would agree with the check word. In such cyclic redundancy check a case the error would go undetected. Nevertheless, by making k large enough, the chances of a random error going undetected can be made extremely small. That's really all there is to it. The rest of this discussion will consist simply of refining this basic idea to optimize its effectiveness, describing the simplified arithmetic that is used to streamline the computations for maximum efficiency when processing binary strings. When discussing CRCs it's customary to present the key word k in the form of a "generator polynomial" whose coefficients are the binary bits of the number k. For example, suppose we want our CRC to use the key k=37. This number written in binary is 100101, and expressed as a polynomial it is x^5 + x^2 + 1. In order to implement a CRC based on this polynomial, the transmitter and receiver must have agreed in advance that this is the key word they intend to use. So, for the sake of discussion, let's say we have agreed to use the generator polynomial 100101. By the way, it's worth noting that the remainder of any word divided by a 6-bit word will contain no more than 5 bits, so our CRC words based on the polynomial 100101 will always fit into 5 bits.
