Study Notes
Data Link Layer Overview
- The minimum Hamming distance requirement for error detection and correction is critical for block codes.
- To detect up to s errors, the minimum Hamming distance (dmin) must satisfy the equation: dmin = s + 1.
- To correct up to t errors, the equation is: dmin = 2t + 1.
Error Detection Techniques
- XOR Property: In linear block codes, the XOR of any two valid codewords produces another valid codeword.
- Parity-check Code: A simple single-bit error detection method with parameters n = k + 1 and dmin = 2.
- Longitudinal Redundancy Check (2D-parity check): Method organizes data into a matrix format and adds redundant bits per row for error detection.
Cyclic Codes
- Cyclic codes are a subset of linear block codes where cyclically shifting a codeword results in another valid codeword.
- Example of bit shifting: If 1011000 is a codeword, left-shifting gives 0110001.
- Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC): Commonly used in networking (LANs and WANs) for error detection, represented through polynomial division.
Checksum Method
- Involves dividing data into segments, summing them using 1's complement arithmetic to derive a checksum.
- The sender complements the sum, and the checksum is sent alongside data segments.
- At the receiver, if the complemented sum equals zero, the data is accepted; otherwise, it is discarded.
Forward Error Correction (FEC)
- Technique to minimize errors in data transmission over communication channels without requiring retransmissions.
- Important for real-time multimedia transmission, as re-transmission introduces delays.
Hamming Codes
- Constructed by adding parity bits to identify and locate errors in transmitted messages.
- The number of redundancy bits (r) must satisfy: 2r ≥ m + r + 1, where m = data bits.
- Example usage with a codeword reveals the position of an error through calculated parity bits.
Chunk Interleaving
- Allows selective error recovery by missing small chunks at the receiver, rather than losing entire packets.
- Aims to maximize data integrity without full retransmission of lost packets.
Key Exercises
- Calculation of CRC messages for specific polynomial encoding.
- Usage of polynomial long division for error checking in transmitted messages.
- Ability to detect single-bit errors in a received Hamming code through parity checks.
- Understanding dataword recovery based on received codewords.
Example Scenarios
- For Hamming code correction, an example codeword (0110001) is decoded to identify the exact originally transmitted code.
- Encoding messages using CRC polynomials demonstrates error protection prior to transmission.
