Computer Science 2210-Parity Bit

This document discusses various methods for detecting errors in data transmission, including parity checks, check digits, checksums, and ARQ. Parity checks involve adding an extra binary digit to each number before transmission to ensure an even or odd number of 1s, depending on the parity used. This extra digit is then checked at the receiving end to detect if any bits were transmitted incorrectly. An example demonstrates adding a 1 or 0 to a number to maintain even parity before transmission.

Topic : Error detection and Correction


Error Detection Methods
There are several methods to detect error in transmission of data
Parity Checks
Check digits
Checksums
ARQ ( Automatic Repeat Request)
Parity Check
• This is used to check data potential transmission errors; an extra binary
digit is added to each binary number before transmission.
• Systems that use EVEN parity have an even number of 1s; systems that
use ODD parity have an odd number of 1‘s.
Example
For example, if a system uses EVEN parity and the number being
transmitted is: 1101110 then an extra 1 is added to give the number even
parity i.e. 11011101 ;
but if the number being transmitted was: 1101100 then an extra 0 is added
since the number already has an even number of 1s i.e. 11011000. The parity
is checked at the receiving end to make sure none of the binary bits have
been transmitted incorrectly.
