Error Detection And Correction Methods-Cont

Polynomials
o    CRC generator ( the divisor) is most often represented not as a string of 1's and 0's
but as an algebraic polynomial
o    The polynomial format is useful for two reasons:
-It is short
-Can be used to prove the concept mathematically

Selection of a Polynomial
o    A polynomial should have the following properties:
-It should not be divisible by 'x'
-It should be divisible by 'x+1'

The first condition guarantees that all burst errors of a length equal to the degree of the
polynomial are detected
The 2  nd guarantees that all burst errors affecting an odd number of bits are detected


ƒ     Performance of CRC
o    CRC can detect all burst errors that affect an odd number of errors
o    CRC can detect all burst errors of length less than or equal to the degree of the
polynomial
o    CRC can detect with a very high probability burst errors of length greater than
the degree of the polynomial
