Unit3

1. What is an error ? Explain the types of errors ?

2. Explain the Error Detection and correction Mechanism?
3. Explain Hamming Distance
4. Explain Block coding
5. Explain CRC
6. The message 11001001 is to be transmitted using CRC error detection algorithm. Assuming
the CRC polynomial to be x3 + 1, determine the message that should be transmitted. If the
second left most bit is corrupted, show that it is detected by the receiver.
7. Assume that a frame consists of 6 characters encoded in 7-bit ASCII. Attach a parity bit for
every character to maintain even parity. Also attach a similar parity bit for each bit position
across each of the bytes in the frame. Show that such a 2-dimensional parity scheme can
detect all 1-bit, 2-bit and 3-bit and can correct a single bit error.
