Fundamentals of Data Transfer Flashcards
Define Error Detection
ability to detect the presence of errors caused by noise or other impairments
3 main impairments or errors
Attentuation, Distortion, Noise
Define Error Correction
ability to reconstruct the original, error free data
Types of error detection:
Redundancy
Encoding
Parity Check
Block Check
Cyclic Redundancy Check
Most common error detection
Redundancy
Parity Check
Cyclic Redundancy Check
What is the simplest method of error detection
Redundancy
What is the most widely used error detecting
Parity Check
There are five types of single character parity used. Only three are predominately used; what are they:
Even
Odd
None
What type of transmission uses Even parity check
Synchronous transmission, even # of 1s in the byte
What type of transmission uses Even parity check
Asynchronous transmission, odd # of 1s in the byte
How effective is Cyclic Redundancy Check
99.9 %
What type of transmission Cyclic Redundancy Check uses?
Synchronous Data Transmission
Error correction is inadequate when dealing with wireless comms for what reasons:
- bit error rate on wireless can be quite high, this would result in large amount of retransmissions
- FEC is a method of correcting errors by putting extra bits in a transm
Types of Multiplexing
Frequency Division Multiplexing
Time Division Multiplexing
Statistical Multiplexing
Dense Wave Divisiom Multiplexing
Types of compression techniques
Lossy compression
Lossless compression
