ERROR CONTROL CODING
ACTIVITY OBJECTIVE:
At the end of this experiment, the student should be able to demonstrate error control coding
using Vertical Redundancy Check (VRC), Longitudinal Redundancy Check (LRC), and Cyclic
Redundancy Check (CRC).

2. Determine the transmitted bit stream for the message ←Dgc5 if 7-bit ASCII is used for
encoding with odd-parity VRC and even-parity LRC.
Transmitted bit stream:

II. Laboratory Work
1. Familiarization with SCILAB functions to be used for Character Coding and Error- Control
Coding.
(a) Open the SCILAB file CharacterCoding_Functions.sce and familiarize with the
SCILAB functions declared in the file. Understand their operation and the syntax
for calling them.
(b) Open the SCILAB file ErrorControl_Functions.sce and familiarize with the
SCILAB functions declared in the file. Understand their operation and the syntax
for calling them.
2. Simulation of Vertical Redundancy Check
Load the character coding functions and error-control functions.
(a) Use the appropriate SCILAB function to encode the message ←Dgc5
ASCII bit stream:
← _____________________________________________________________________
(b) Use the appropriate SCILAB function to generate the transmitted bit stream with
VRC bits.
Transmitted bit stream:
← _____________________________________________________________________
(c) Assuming the transmitted bit stream is received, use the appropriate SCILAB function to
extract the ASCII bit stream from the received bit stream and decode the ASCII message.
Received ASCII bit stream:
← _____________________________________________________________________
Received ASCII message:
← _____________________________________________________________________
Does the function for extracting the ASCII codes detect the presence of error in the
received bit stream? ___
(d) Introduce errors in the received bit stream (by changing some of the bits) and use the
function for extracting the received ASCII codes. Do this 50 times.
