Introduction to the Data Link Layer
• • Purpose: Manages data transfer between
adjacent nodes in a network.
• • Responsibilities: Error detection, error
correction, and framing data for reliable
transmission.
Why Error Detection and
Correction Matter
• • Ensures data integrity by identifying and
correcting errors.
• • Important for reliable communication,
reducing retransmissions and saving
bandwidth.
• • Common in applications requiring high
accuracy (e.g., financial transactions, file
transfers).
Types of Errors in Data
Transmission
• • Single-bit errors: Only one bit is corrupted in
the data unit.
• • Burst errors: Multiple bits are altered during
transmission.
• • Causes: Noise, attenuation, interference,
and hardware malfunctions.
Error Detection Techniques
• • Parity Check: Adds a parity bit to make the
number of 1s either even (even parity) or odd
(odd parity).
• • Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC): Uses a
polynomial division method for more complex
and reliable error detection.
• • Checksum: Sums up data bits to create a
check value for error detection.
Error Correction Techniques
• • Hamming Code: Adds redundancy bits to
enable single-bit error correction.
• • Reed-Solomon Code: Common in CDs and
QR codes; corrects multiple errors.
• • Forward Error Correction (FEC): Adds
redundant data, enabling error correction
without retransmission.
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
Example
• • Steps:
• - Choose a divisor (polynomial).
• - Perform binary division on data using the
divisor.
• - Remainder becomes the CRC, which is
appended to data.
• • Benefits: Highly effective for detecting burst
errors.
Limitations of Error Detection and
Correction
• • No method guarantees detection of all
errors.
• • Trade-off between efficiency and reliability
(higher redundancy may impact performance).
• • Limited correction capabilities for certain
techniques (e.g., parity only detects single-bit
errors).
Conclusion
• • Error detection and correction are essential
for data integrity in network communications.
• • Techniques vary in complexity and efficiency,
depending on network requirements.
• • Proper implementation helps ensure reliable
and secure data transmission.
