Study Notes
Digital Communication and Switching - Lecture 7
- Course: Digital Communication and Switching
- Semester: I AY 2024-25
- Lecture: 7
- Outcome: Understanding Channel Coding
- Lecturer: Lenin Joseph (LJ)
- Date: Dec 24, 2024
Outcome #7: Understanding Channel Coding
- Channel Encoding - Error Detection and Correction: The course focuses on understanding channel encoding for error detection and correction in digital communication systems.
Digital Communication System Block Diagram
- A block diagram of a digital communication system was presented, showcasing the key components involved in the process.
- Components include analog information source, A/D converter, source encoder, channel encoder, modulator, channel, demodulator, channel decoder, source decoder, D/A converter, and digital information sink.
Introduction
- An optimal digital communication system aims to minimize bit errors.
- Errors in transmission occur due to non-ideal channel characteristics, primarily noise.
- Noise in the channel corrupts the transmitted data.
Channel Encoder
- The channel encoder takes the source encoder's output and adds extra bits (redundancy).
- Extra bits don't carry information but help the receiver detect or correct errors.
- Error control through channel coding.
Channel Decoder
- The channel decoder retrieves information bits from the coded binary stream.
- Redundancy added by the encoder is removed.
- Error detection and correction are performed.
Error Control
- Error control is broadly categorized into two types:
- Error Detection: Monitoring data transmission to identify errors.
- Error Correction: Correcting transmission errors through retransmission or forward error correction.
Error Detection Techniques
- Various techniques for error detection include:
- Vertical Redundancy Checking (VRC)
- Longitudinal Redundancy Checking (LRC)
- Checksum
- Cyclic Redundancy Checking (CRC)
Vertical Redundancy Checking (VRC)
- VRC, also called character parity, is a simple error detection method that adds a parity bit to each character to make the total number of 1s either odd or even.
- Only detects approximately 50% of transmission errors.
- Not suitable for detecting multiple errors.
Longitudinal Redundancy Checking (LRC)
- LRC, often called message parity, adds parity bits to each bit position in a message to help determine transmission errors.
- Uses even parity.
- Also known as Block Check Sequence (BCS) or Frame Check Sequence (FCS).
Error Correction Types
- Lost Message: A message that never arrives, or arrives significantly damaged.
- Damaged Message: A message arrives but with one or more errors.
Error Correction Methods
- Retransmission: Re-sending the affected data.
- Forward Error Correction: Methods to detect and correct errors without retransmission of data.
