This chapter is about guarding against errors in data in its many different forms: data stored on a hard drive, CD, floppy disk or solid state drive (such as that inside a cellphone, camera, or MP3 player); data currently in RAM (particularly on servers where the data correctness is critical); data going between the RAM and hard drive or ...

Dec 28, 2024 · Data-link layer uses the techniques of error control simply to ensure and confirm that all the data frames or packets, i.e. bit streams of data, are transmitted or transferred from sender to receiver with certain accuracy. Using or providing error control at this data link layer is an optimization, it was never a requirement.

An error correcting code selects a subset of the space to use as valid messages (codewords). Since the number of valid messages is smaller than the total number of possible messages, we have given up some communication rate in exchange for robustness. The size of each ball above gives approximately the amount of redundancy. The larger the ball

An error control coding algorithm can often detect errors more easily than it can correct them. Errors involving multiple bits can sometimes even go undetected. What if the computer (or your friend if you were being a magician with actual parity cards) had been sneaky and turned over two cards instead of one?

For example, if a CD is scratched or a hard disk has a small fault, it's likely to affect many adjacent bits. These systems use codes based on more advanced mathematical concepts. The most widely used codes for storage and data transfer are the Reed-Solomon codes and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).

This course presents error-control coding with a view toward applying it as part of the overall design of a data communication or storage and retrieval system. Block, trellis, and turbo codes and associated decoding techniques are covered.

Coverage of the fundamentals of coding and the applications of codes to the design of real error control systems. Contains the most recent developments of coded modulation, trellises for codes, soft-decision decoding algorithms, turbo coding for reliable data transmission and other areas.

Codewords can be represented as polynomials of degree n. For. cyclic code all codewords are multiple of some polynomial g(X) modulo Xn+1 such that g(X) divides Xn+1. g(X) is called the generator polynomial.
