    Error detection in computer networks involves adding redundant bits to transmitted data to detect errors. Common error detection techniques include parity checks, checksums, and cyclic redundancy checks. Parity checks involve adding an extra bit to make the total number of 1s in a block either even or odd. Checksums and cyclic redundancy checks both use division or addition of data segments and transmitted checksum values to detect errors in received data.

    Error Detection in Computer

    Networks
    Error
    A condition when the receiver’s information does not match with the
    sender’s information. During transmission, digital signals suffer from
    noise that can introduce errors in the binary bits travelling from sender
    to receiver. That means a 0 bit may change to 1 or a 1 bit may change to
    0.

    Error Detecting Codes (Implemented either at Data link layer or


    Transport Layer of OSI Model)
    Whenever a message is transmitted, it may get scrambled by noise or
    data may get corrupted. To avoid this, we use error-detecting codes
    which are additional data added to a given digital message to help us
    detect if any error has occurred during transmission of the message.

    Basic approach used for error detection is the use of redundancy bits,
    where additional bits are added to facilitate detection of errors.

    Some popular techniques for error detection are:


    1. Simple Parity check
    2. Two-dimensional Parity check
    3. Checksum
    4. Cyclic redundancy check
    1. Simple Parity check
    Blocks of data from the source are subjected to a check bit or parity bit
    generator form, where a parity of :

    • 1 is added to the block if it contains odd number of 1’s, and


    • 0 is added if it contains even number of 1’s

    This scheme makes the total number of 1’s even, that is why it is called
    even parity checking.

    2. Two-dimensional Parity check


    Parity check bits are calculated for each row, which is equivalent to a
    simple parity check bit. Parity check bits are also calculated for all
    columns, then both are sent along with the data. At the receiving end
    these are compared with the parity bits calculated on the received data.
    3. Checksum

    • In checksum error detection scheme, the data is divided into k


    segments each of m bits.
    • In the sender’s end the segments are added using 1’s complement
    arithmetic to get the sum. The sum is complemented to get the
    checksum.
    • The checksum segment is sent along with the data segments.
    • At the receiver’s end, all received segments are added using 1’s
    complement arithmetic to get the sum. The sum is complemented.
    • If the result is zero, the received data is accepted; otherwise
    discarded.
    4. Cyclic redundancy check (CRC)

    • Unlike checksum scheme, which is based on addition, CRC is


    based on binary division.
    • In CRC, a sequence of redundant bits, called cyclic redundancy
    check bits, are appended to the end of data unit so that the resulting
    data unit becomes exactly divisible by a second, predetermined
    binary number.
    • At the destination, the incoming data unit is divided by the same
    number. If at this step there is no remainder, the data unit is
    assumed to be correct and is therefore accepted.
    • A remainder indicates that the data unit has been damaged in
    transit and therefore must be rejected.
