Error Detection an Error Occurs When a Bit Is Altered Between Error Detection ¾ An error occurs when a bit is altered between transmission and reception ¾ Single bit errors z only one bit altered z caused by white noise ¾ Burst errors z contiguous sequence of B bits in which first last and any number of intermediate bits in error z caused by impulse noise or by fading in wireless z effect greater at higher data rates Sources of Noise and Prevention Error Detection ¾ will have errors ¾ detect using error-detecting code (principle of redundancy) ¾ added by transmitter and recalculated and checked by receiver ¾ still chance of undetected error Error Detection Techniques • Parity checks • Longitudinal Redundancy Checking (LRC) • Polynomial checking – Checksum – Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Parity Check • Oldest and simplest • Doesn’t catch all errors – If two (or an even number of) bits have been transmitted in error at the same time, the parity check appears to be correct – Detects about 50% of errors To be sent: Letter V in 7-bit ASCII: 0110101 Longitudinal Redundancy Checking (LRC) • Adds an additional character (instead of a bit) – Block Check Character (BCC) to each block of data – Determined like parity but, but counting longitudinally through the message (as well as vertically) • Major improvement over parity checking – 98% error detection rate for burst errors ( > 10 bits) – Less capable of detecting single bit errors Example: Determine the VRC and LRC for the following encoded message: THE_CAT. Use odd parity for the VRC and even parity for the LRC. Character T H E sp C A T LRC Hex 54 48 45 20 43 41 54 2F b0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 b1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 b2 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 b3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 b4 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 b5 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 b6 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 Parity bit b7 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 (VRC) The LRC is 00101111 in binary (2F) which is the character (/). Therefore, after the LRC character is appended to the message, it would read THE_CAT/. Note: With VRC, even parity is generally used, whereas with VRC, odd parity is generally used. Cyclic Redundancy Check – Most powerful and most common – Almost detects 100% of errors Example: Determine the BCS for the following data and CRC generating polynomial: Data G(x) = x7 + x5 + x4 + x2 + x + 1 = 10110111 CRC P(x) = x5 + x4 + x + 1 = 110011 Checksum – Form of redundancy where each character has a numerical value assigned to it. – Characters within the message are combined together to produce an error-checking character. International Standard Book Number • A unique, numerical commercial book identifier, based upon the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering (SBN) code created in the UK. • The 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and published as an international standard in 1970. • Since January 1, 2007, International Standard Book Numbers have been of 13 digits. Overview An ISBN is assigned to each edition and variation (except reprintings) of a book. An International Standard Book Number consists of 4 or 5 parts: 1. for a 13 digit ISBN, a GS1 prefix: 978 or 979 2. the group identifier, (language-sharing country group) 3. the publisher code, 4. the item number, and 5. a checksum character or check digit. Example: • The check digit for an ISBN-10 of 0-306-40615-? is calculated as: s = 0×10 + 3×9 + 0×8 + 6×7 + 4×6 + 0×5 + 6×4 + 1×3 + 5×2 = 0 + 27 + 0 + 42 + 24 + 0 + 24 + 3 + 10 = 130 130 / 11 = 11 remainder 9 11 - 9 = 2 (check digit) Note: If the result is 11, a '0' should be substituted; if 10, an 'X' should be used. The ISBN-13 check digit of 978-0-306-40615-? is calculated as: s = 9×1 + 7×3 + 8×1 + 0×3 + 3×1 + 0×3 + 6×1 + 4×3 + 0×1 + 6×3 + 1×1 + 5×3 = 9 + 21 + 8 + 0 + 3 + 0 + 6 + 12 + 0 + 18 + 1 + 15 = 93 93 / 10 = 9 remainder 3 10 – 3 = 7 (check digit) .

    PIC Serial Communication Modules Synchronous Serial Port (SSP Module) {clock signal is required} - Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) - Inter Integrated Circuit (IIC -> I2C) Serial Interface Asynchronous Communication Modules (clock signal is not required) - Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) UART • A Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART) is used for serial communications – usually via a cable. • The UART generates signals with the same timing as the RS-232 standard used by the Personal Computer’s COM ports. • The UART input/output uses 0V for logic 0 and 5V for logic 1. • The RS-232 standard (and the COM port) use +12V for logic 0 and –12V for logic 1. • To convert between these voltages levels we need an additional integrated circuit (such as Maxim’s MAX232). Parts of an RS-232 Frame • A frame transmits a single character and is in general composed of: 1) A start bit (always logic 0) 2) Data bits (5, 6, 7, or 8 of them) 3) A parity bit (optional, even or odd parity) 4) A stop bit (always logic 1) RS232 Level Converter PIC & MAX232 Connection UART Timing Accuracy • Since the transmitter and receiver keep track of time independently between clock recovery synchronization points, the combined inaccuracy of the transmitter and receiver’s clocks can not be too large. • For RS-232 communication, this combined inaccuracy is about 5%. • Usually, an RC oscillator is too inaccurate and a crystal is required. UART Bit Time and Baud Rate • The bit time (units of time) is the time from the start of one serial data bit value to the start of another.

  • What the Heck Is RS-232 Anyway…
    Tech Note What the heck is RS-232 anyway… It just occurred to me that there is an entire generation of technicians in the work force that did not grow up in the days of the TRS-80 and Commodore 64 PC. Rather, they were brought up on broadband and Wi-Fi. To them that funny looking 9-Pin connector that we old folks cut our teeth on is a mystery full of uncertainty and doubt – with a little bit of fear mixed in for good measure. In this paper, I hope to dispel some of the mystery and give you the essentials of RS-232. What is it? At one time, RS-232 / EIA-232 was the most widely used communication standard on the planet. It was defined and redefined many times. The “EIA” stands for “Electronic Industries Association” and the “RS” stands for “Recommended Standard.” That being the case, it was always rather loose. The physical characteristics of the hardware include both a 25 pin and 9 pin D sub connector. RS- 232 is capable of operating at data rates up to 20 Kbps and can push data about 50 ft. The absolute maximum data rate is difficult to nail down due the differences in the transmission line and cable length. It is possible to operate at some pretty high data rates if the distance is short. The voltage levels are defined as a range from -12 to +12 volts. RS-232 is also single ended. This means that a single electrical signal is compared to a common signal (ground) to determine binary logic states.

Magnetic disks (a.k.a. “hard drives”) are (still) the most common secondary storage devices today ! They are “messy” " Errors, bad blocks, missed seeks, moving parts ! And yet, the data they hold is critical ! The OS used to hide all the “messiness” from higher-level software " Programs shouldn’t have to know anything about the way the disk is built ! This has been done increasingly with help from the hardware " i.e., the disk controller ! What do hard drives look like? Hard Drive Structure Hard Drive access Access ! A hard drive requires a lot of information for an access " Platter #, sector #, track #, etc. ! Hard drives today are more complicated than the simple picture " e.g., sectors of different sizes to deal with varying densities and radial speeds with respect to the distance to the spindle ! Nowadays, hard drives comply with standard interfaces " EIDE, ATA, SATA, USB, Fiber Channel, SCSI ! The hard drives, in these interfaces, is seen as an array of logical blocks (512 bytes) ! The device, in hardware, does the translation between the block # and the platter #, sector #, track #, etc. ! This is good: " The kernel code to access the disk is straightforward " The controller can do a lot of work, e.g., transparently hiding bad blocks ! The cost is that some cool optimizations that the kernel could perhaps do are not possible, since all its hidden from it Hard Drive Performance ! We’ve said many times that hard drives are slow !

    Part 2 – Data Communication Reliability and Channel Coding Gail Hopkins Part 2 – Data Communication Introduction Types of error that can occur during transmission Techniques used to control errors 1 Part 2 – Data Communication Transmission Errors Much of the complexity of networks arises from susceptibility to interference that can cause: transmitted data to be lost or changed random data to appear Single-bit errors versus burst errors Errors also caused by equipment failures or equipment operating below standard Small errors in transmission are harder to detect than complete failures! Part 2 – Data Communication Categories of Error Interference E.g. EM radiation from other devices Distortion Physical systems distort signals Wires have capacitance and inductance – blocks signals at some frequencies Attenuation Weakening of signal with distance 2 Part 2 – Data Communication Tradeoffs with Error Detection/Correction Error detection adds overhead Designers need to decide whether to use error detection or not Consider a single bit error Not important for image transmission Could be hugely important for a bank transfer! Part 2 – Data Communication Errors and their Causes Type of Error Description Single Bit Error Single bit in a block of bits is changed. All other bits in the block are unchanged. Often due to very short- duration interference. Burst Error Multiple bits in a block of bits are changed. Often due to longer-duration interference. Erasure (Ambiguity) The signal that arrives at a receiver is ambiguous – i.e. doesn’t clearly correspond to either a logical 1 or logical 0. Can result from distortion or interference. From Comer, 2009 3 Part 2 – Data Communication Handling Channel Errors Channel coding – two schemes: Forward Error Correction (FEC) mechanisms Add additional information to the data to allow the receiver to check if it is correct Allow receiver to detect when an error has occurred, which bits have changed and compute correct values (some techniques).

  • Data-Integrity
    Fundamentals of Data Representation: Error checking and correction When you send data across the internet or even from your USB to a computer you are sending millions upon millions of ones and zeros. What would happen if one of them got corrupted? Think of this situation: You are buying a new game from an online retailer and put £40 into the payment box. You click on send and the number 40 is sent to your bank stored in a byte: 00101000. Now imagine if the second most significant bit got corrupted on its way to the bank, and the bank received the following: 01101000. You'd be paying £104 for that game! Error Checking and Correction stops things like this happening. There are many ways to detect and correct corrupted data, we are going to learn two. Parity bits Sometime when you see ASCII code it only appears to have 7 bits. Surely they should be using a byte to represent a character, after all that would mean they could represent more characters than the measily 128 they can currently store (Note there is extended ASCII that uses the 8th bit as well but we don't need to cover that here). The eigth bit is used as a parity bit to detect that the data you have been sent is correct. It will not be able to tell you which digit is wrong, so it isn't corrective. There are two types of parity odd and even. If you think back to primary school you would have learnt about odd and even numbers, hold that thought, we are going to need it.

  • Error Detection
    Error detection ² Transmission errors occur - Cosmic rays, radio interference, etc. - If error probability is 2¡20, that's 1 error per 128 MB! ² Idea: Detect errors with error-detecting code - Include extra, redundant bits with each message - If message changes, extra bits likely to be wrong ² Examples: - IP, TCP checksums - MAC layer error-detection (Ethernet, AAL-5) Parity ² Simplest scheme: Parity - For each 7-bits transmitted, transmit an 8th parity bit - Even parity means total number of 1 bits even - Odd parity means total number of 1 bits odd ² Detects any single-bit error (good) ² Only detects odd # of bit errors (not so good) ² Common errors not caught - E.g., error induces bunch of zeros, valid even parity ² Can we somehow have multiple parity bits? Background: Finite field notation ² Let Z2 designate field of integers modulo 2 - Two elements are 0 and 1, so an element is a bit - Can perform addition and multiplication, just reduce mod 2 - Example: 1 ¢ 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2 mod 2 = 0 ² Let Z2[x] be polynomials w. coefficients in Z2 n n¡1 - I.e., a0x + a1x + ¢ ¢ ¢ + an¡1x + an for ai 2 Z2 = f0; 1g - Each ai is a bit, so can represent polynomial compactly ² We can multiply, add, subtract polynomials - Example 1: (x + 1)(x + 1) = x2 + x + x + 1 = x2 + 1 (recall 1 + 1 ´ 0 (mod 2), so (1 + 1)x = 0) - Example 2: (x3 + x2 + 1) + (x2 + x) = x3 + x + 1 - Note addition & subtraction are both just XOR Hamming codes ² Idea: Use multiple parity bits over subsets of input - Will allow you to detect multiple errors - Technique is used by ECC memory
