Activity 1 Report

The document summarizes a hands-on activity organized by the School of Computer Science for students to learn about error detection in networks. The activity was performed via Zoom and taught students how errors can be detected at the receiver end. It explained that error detection techniques add extra information to data to determine if errors occurred during transmission. The activity helped students better understand how digital systems can detect and sometimes correct errors to restore original data without users realizing the underlying processes.

HANDS – ON REPORT

School of Computer Science


Activity Name – Error Detection in Network Activity

Class- BCA, BSc (CS) III sem

Date: 28/11/2020

The School of computer Science organized hands-on activity for the students of
BCA, BSc. (CS) 3rd Sem via Zoom. Error Detection activity was performed by
Professor Dr. Rekha Ranawat during this activity which allowed the students
how to detect error in network at receiver end.

Error detection is a method that can look at some data and detect if it has
been corrupted while it was stored or transmitted.

Information received over networks can be corrupted if there's interference on the


line or a faulty component in the system. Even scanning information from barcodes
and QR codes is a form of information transmission, and small errors such as dirt
or scratches on the code can change the information. Yet we rely on data so much
that there could be serious implications from even a single digit error in a student's
grade, or a small change to a payment, or an incorrect reading in a medical scan.
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 detection techniques add extra information to data to determine when errors
have occurred. The extra information might be an extra "check digit" such as the
last digit of a credit card number or barcode number on a product, or extra binary
digits (bits) in data stored on a computer.

Not only can most digital systems detect errors, but many can correct them as well,
back to what the data should have been. Error correction can appear to be magic,
since it involves being able to put data back to how it was originally, even when
you don’t know what the original data was.

This activity is show how errors can be detected, and in some cases, corrected to
restore the original data. It also enables students to explore how we use some
relatively simple ideas to make our digital systems so reliable that people using
them don't realize that this is all happening underneath the surface.

At last, it was an informative session helping students expand their practical


approach towards the subject.
