Error correction is the detection of errors and reconstruction of the original, error-free data. History[edit] The modern development of error-correcting codes in 1947 is due to Richard W. Hamming.[1] A description of Hamming's code appeared in Claude Shannon's A Mathematical Theory of Communication[2] and was quickly generalized by Marcel J. E. Golay.[3] Introduction[edit] The general idea for achieving error detection and correction is to add some redundancy (i.e., some extra data) to a message, which receivers can use to check consistency of the delivered message, and to recover data determined to be corrupted. Error-detection and correction schemes can be either systematic or non-systematic: In a systematic scheme, the transmitter sends the original data, and attaches a fixed number of check bits (or parity data), which are derived from the data bits by some deterministic algorithm. If only error detection is required, a receiver can simply apply the same algorithm to the received data bits and compare its output with the received check bits; if the values do not match, an error h

Parity bits are used as the simplest form of error detecting code. There are error detection and correction in data link layer two variants of parity bits: even parity bit and odd parity bit. In the case of even parity, for a given set of bits, the occurrences of bits whose value is 1 is counted. If that count is odd, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction parity bit value is set to 1, making the total count of occurrences of 1's in the whole set (including the parity bit) an even number. If the count of 1's in a given set of bits is already even, the parity bit's value is 0. In the case of odd parity, the coding is reversed. For a given set of bits, if the count of bits with a value of 1 is even, the parity bit value is set https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_bit to 1 making the total count of 1's in the whole set (including the parity bit) an odd number. If the count of bits with a value of 1 is odd, the count is already odd so the parity bit's value is 0. Even parity is a special case of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), where the 1-bit CRC is generated by the polynomial x+1. If the parity bit is present but not used, it may be referred to as mark parity (when the parity bit is always 1) or space parity (the bit is always 0). Parity bits are generally applied to the smallest units of a communication protocol, typically 8-bit octets (bytes), although they can also be applied separately to an entire message string of bits. The decimal math equivalent to the parity bit is the Check digit.

In telecommunications and computing, parity refers to the evenness or oddness of the number of bits with value one within a given set of bits, and is thus determined by the value of all the bits. It can be calculated via an XOR sum of the bits, yielding 0 for ev
the transmission process. Sometimes a noise pulse may be large enough to alter the logic level of the signal. http://www.me.umn.edu/courses/me4231/references/paritycheck.html For example, the transmitted sequence 1001 may be incorrectly received as 1101. In order to detect such errors a parity bit is often used. A parity bit is an extra 0 or 1 bit attached to a code group at transmission. In the even parity method the value of the bit is chosen so that the total number error detection of 1s in the code group, including the parity bit, is an even number. For example, in transmitting 1001 the parity bit used would be 0 to give 01001, and thus an even number of 1s. In transmitting 1101 the parity bit used would be 1 to give 11101, and thus an even number of 1s. With error detection and odd parity the parity bit is chosen so that the total number of 1s, including the parity bit, is odd. Thus if at the receiver the number of 1s in a code group does not give the required parity, the receiver will know that there is an error and can request that the code group be retransmitted. An extension of the parity check is the checksum in which a block of code may be checked by sending a series of bits representing their binary sum. Parity and checksums can only detect single errors in blocks of code, double errors go undetected. Also, the error is not located so that correction by the receiver can be made. Multiple-error detection techniques and methods to pinpoint errors have been devised (See Section 21.3 of Bolton) and texts such as Audio, Video, and Data Telecommunications by D. Peterson (McGraw-Hill 1992) explain these in more detail. From W. Bolton, Mechatronics: Electronic Control Systems in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (2nd Edition), Longman, New York, 1999.
