PART A – ERROR DETECTION (Chapter 6)

40
1. Define the terms the types of errors. (1M)
2. Define the concept of CRC. (1M)
3. Explain how CRC checker works. (1M)
4. List the steps followed in checksum generator (3M)
5. Sort these Checksum steps into order (5M)

The two checksum values are compared by the receiving computer

The receiving computer uses the data it receives to also calculate what it believes should
be the checksum, using the same mathematical algorithm
The sending computer uses the block of data to be sent, and a predefined mathematical
algorithm, to calculate a checksum value
If the checksum values don’t match, the receiving computer requests that the data is
transmitted again
The sending computer sends the data, plus the checksum value

6. The final number in a code of numbers. It is calculated from all the other numbers in the code. Its
purpose is to spot errors on data entry. From the explanation, what is the detectionmethod
referring to? (1M)
7. The receiving computer sends a copy of the data immediately back to the sending computer for
comparison. From the explanation, what is the detection method referring to? (1M)
8. Sort these Parity Check steps into order (5M)

The sending computer adds the correct parity bit to the binary data (either an extra 1 or 0)
The receiving computer checks to make sure the overall parity of the data received is as
agreed (an even or odd number of 1 bits)
The sending and receiving computers agree the protocol to be used (even or odd)
If the parity of the data is incorrect, the receiving computer will request that the data is transmitted
again
The sending computer sends the binary data, including the parity bit

9. A block of data is sent alongside a calculated value. The receiving computer also calculates what it
believes should be the value. The values are then compared to see if an error has occurred during
transmission. From the explanation, what is the detection method referring to? (1M)
10. An extra bit added to a string of binary code to ensure the number of 1-bits are either even or odd,
depending upon the system used. From the explanation, what is the detection method referring to?
(1M)
11. How can the simple parity bit detect a damaged data unit? (3M)
12. What is the difference between even parity and odd parity? (4M)
13. Discuss the two-dimensional parity check and the types of errors it can and cannot detect. (5M)
14. Discuss the concept of redundancy in error detection. (4M)
15. How is the check sum method of error detection take place? (4M)
