ABSTRACT: To achieve high performance and better Quality Of data transmission, error detecting and correcting
techniques are used. There are many different errors detecting and correcting techniques are available. It can improve
the performance as well as the quality of the data transmitted.
When a digital signal is transmitted between two systems, the signal gets distorted because of the addition of noise to
the transmitted signal. The noise can introduce an error is the binary train of bit travelling from one system to the other.
This means that a 0 may change to 1 or a 1 may change to 0. This error can become serious problems with the
accuracy and performance of the digital system. Therefore, it is essential to detect and correct the errors. In digital
communication errors are introduced during the transmission of data from the transmitter to receiver due to noise or
some other reasons. The reliability of data transmission gets severely affected and distorted because of these added
errors on data. The detection and correction of transmission error added one or more than one extra bits during the time
of transmitting the signal. The extra bits are known as parity bits. These parity bits detect or sometimes correct the
errors.

I.INTRODUCTION
For successful data communication, to use certain techniques for data communication & require at least two devices or
two machines, one is sender another one is received. They require a great deal of coordination between these two
devices or machines for reliable and efficient data communication. During data communication, because of attenuation,
distortion, noise interferences some errors will occur and this will lead to corruption of some of the bits. The
transmission media are noisy, the probability of single bit error will be more and when sending data in the form of a
frame. The size of the frame will also detect and decide the probability of error of a frame [2]. At Error correction
method automatic repeat request (ARQ), when an error is detected; the receiver sends a request to the transmitter for
repeat transmission, after which the transmitter retransmits. The ARQ method needs duplex arrangement as apart from
the conventional transmitter to receiver signal, the request signal is to travel from receiver to transmitter. On the other
hand, the forward error correction (FEC) method needs simplex arrangement as the signal has to trouble only from the
transmitter to the receiver. Therefore, FEC method is more popular than ARQ method. In error detection method CRC
is based on binary division. In the parity checking methods an additional bit call as parity bits is added to each date
word. Even parity or odd parity bit is the method to detect the errors.If even parity is to be used, then a parity bit is
added to make the total number of 1 bit even. Similarly, for odd parity the total number of 1 bit is made out by adding
the parity bits [2]. If the number of errors introduced in the transmitted code is 2 or any even number, then the parity of
the received code word will not change, it will still remain even on that case parity checking method not detect the error
or error detection method will fail. So, this is the limitation of the parity checking method.

II. ERROR ON COMMUNICATION
A. Single Bit Error:
One is a single bit error, suppose sending a bit sequence may be a character says 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 an 8-bit ASCII code.
There are sending one of the bits may get corrupted and it may become 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0, this corresponds to a particular
character and at the receiver, this has been transmitted.
Fig. 1.Single-bit error
This is very common in parallel transmission, suppose sending 8 bits simultaneously using 8 lines, so using 8 lines
sending and whenever sending 8 bits, then one of the lines may be faulty, whenever a particular line is faulty obviously
signal coming through the line will be in errors a result this will lead to a single bit error, if a particular line is faulty
[3].
B. Burst Error:
Another type of error, which is known as burst error, burst errors occur whenever more than one bit gets corrupted.
Suppose sending a long sequence 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 and so on, so the duration of noise is covering 4 bits. There is a
possibility that some of these bits become 1. It is not necessary that all the bits will get corrupted so out of these 8 bits,
the 4 bits have got correct, corrupted leading to signal at the other end of the receiving. This is essentially multiple bit
error and call it burst error because a heavily noise is responsible for this kind of error.

III. ERROR DETECTION TECHNIQUES
Simple Parity Check, Two-dimensional Parity check, Checksum, Cyclic redundancy check.
A. Simple Parity Check:
The most common approach is parity checking, which involves counting all the 1 bit in the data and adding one more
bit to make the total number of 1 bit even (even parity) or odd (odd parity). The extra bit is called parity redundant bit.
The method is also called vertical redundancy check (VRC). The performance of a simple parity check scheme, here all
single bit errors are detected and it can detect all the single bit errors and also it can detect burst errors. However, this
can detect burst errors only when the number of bits in error is odd, but when the number of bits in error is
even. This technique is not foolproof again has burst errors that invert more than one bit, particularly if an even number
of bits are inverted due to error, the error is not detected by using this simple parity check scheme.
Fig. 3. Even-parity checking scheme
So, to overcome this limitation, use two-dimensional parity checks. In two-dimensional parity check the performance is
improved by using the number of bits that means more redundancy.
B. Two-dimensional Parity check:
If an even number of bits are inverted due to error, the error is not detected by using this simple parity check scheme, to
overcome this limitation use two-dimensional parity checks. The two-dimensional parity checks the performance is
improved by using two or more numbers of bits. Here the data are organized in blocks of bits in the form of a table. The
two-dimensional data and parity check bits are calculated for each row, which is equivalent to simple parity check bits.
In each row there is parity and parity check bits are calculated for all columns, so the parity check for each of the rows
and parity check bit for each of the columns.

C. Cyclic redundancy check:
The receiver divides the incoming frame by that number and if there is no reminder, it assumes that there was no error.
The data of m bits and then additional zeros are added toit are concatenated with it, so this is divided by n + 1-bit
divisor this is that carefully chosen in the bit sequence. Which is used as a divisor to divide the M + n bit sequence and
it gives n bit data. The divide a number by n + 1 bit get the reminder of n bits and that n bit is used as CRC or the cyclic
redundancy check bits. These zeroes n zeros are replaced by CRC to get the data + CRC. Thistransmitted through the
transmission media, sothrough the transmission media, it sent at the receiving end. The receiver receivesm + n bits, data
+ CRC and it is again divided by the same divisor. The divisor has to be same in both cases at the transmitting and
receiving end and after division,it generates a reminder and if the reminders 0 then it is the data is accepted as correct
data if it is not 0 then it isrejected. So, find that by division, at the receiving end aswell as in the transmitting end,
division is performed to generate CRC and also tocheck whether the received data including a CRC is correct or not,
andthen it is accepted or rejected based onwhether the reminder is 0 or not. This is based on modulo 2, arithmetic [4].

Fig. 5. Mechanism of CRC at sender and Receiver side
It is shown with this example. Consider the case for data where k=100100. Hence, we have to divide 1101 (i.e. k
appended by 3 zeros) by 1101. So here data is of only 6 bits 100100 and divisors is 1101, using the modulo-2
arithmetic. The data length can be 8-bit, 16-bit or even much longer, and then the divisor is n + 1 bit. So, n zeros
areadded to it, 100100then 000, so thisis being divided by this divisor and this division process is simple. This is
100100000, which produces the remainder r=001, so that the bit frame (k+r) =100100001 is transmitted. At the
receiving end, if the received number, i.e., 100100001 is divided by the same generator polynomial 1101 to get the
remainder as 000, so that it can say assumed that the data is error free.

IV. ERROR CORRECTION TECHNIQUES
In error correction two basic approaches are used the first approach that is based on backward error correction. This
backward error correction is based on this when an error is detected in a frame. The sender is asked to retransmit the
data or a frame means that the receiver will check the error detector by one of the schemes. Then it will send
information to the sender and ask the sender to retransmit the frame once again. This approach is known as automatic
repeat request and this scheme is known as backward error correction, because going back to transmission once again
and this particular scheme.
Positive ACK:When the receiver receives a correct frame, itsendsacknowledge to the sender.
Negative ACK: When the receiver receives a damaged frame or error frame, it sends a NACK back to the sender and
the sender again retransmit the correct frame.
Retransmission: The sender sends the data and maintains a clock limit and sets a fix timeout period. If an
acknowledgement of a data-frame previously transmitted does not arrive before the timeout at the transmitter time
period. The sender understand data was loosed and not reach to transmitter, it again sends data frame and wait for
acknowledgement.
There are three types of techniques available for control the errors by Automatic Repeat Requests (ARQ).
(1) Stop-and-wait ARQ, (2) Go-Back-N ARQ, (3) Selective Repeat ARQ
Fig. 8.Error Detection and Correction Control Methodologies

A. Forward error correction:
In forward error correction, send a frame specially encoded such that in some cases, the receiver can correct the errors
but, in some cases, they couldn't correct errors. There were certain cases, where it's not perfect. So, we still need some
way to ask the sender to retransmit to send again for example, send a frame and because of errors it doesn't get to the
destination, it says that's a lost frame. On this method, Sender sends a frame to the destination and the destination sends
back an ACKthat frame is a positive acknowledgment. If received the frames with errors on this approach receiver give
a negative acknowledgement and send a frame to the destination. The destination sends back a message NAK that
frame sent me has errors, that's an acknowledgment that something's gone wrong and if detected something's gone
wrong [2].
B. Automatic Repeat Request or ARQ:
When we combine that with a positive acknowledgement we'll need a timeout mechanism the approach. The
sender sends a frame to the destination, and wait for a positive acknowledgment, if the destination receives that frame,
it sends back a positive acknowledgement. If sending the frame and there's an error and the destination, doesn't receive
the frame and waiting for a positive acknowledgement. So here implements a timeout mechanism, after sending frame
wait for some time, if I don't receive the ACK within that time, then I'll assume, it's lost and resend or retransmit it.
This process is called automatic repeat request or ARQ [9].
C. Stop-and-wait ARQ:
Stop-and-wait ARQ protocol is based on the flow control equivalent, the source sends a single frame remember stop-
and-wait flow control send one frame wait for the data ACK, send the next frame waits for the ACK, and so on. Here
the source sends a single frame, but we now introduce a timer. Send frame and then start the timer and start counting
time and waiting for an ACK to come back.If an ACK is coming back, then stop the timer and move on to the next
frame, that's the normal case, no errors. If the destination receives a frame which contains errors and frame damaged,
then it discards that frame. Stop and wait ARQ data transmission system, the transmitter sends a code vector to the
receiver and wait for an acknowledgement from the receiver as shown in figure. A positive acknowledgement from the
receiver signals that the code vector has been successfully received and then the transmitter sends the next code vector.
A negative acknowledgement (NAK) from the receiver indicates that the receiver vector has been detected in error;
then transmitter recent the code vector. Retransmission continues until and ACK is received by the transmitter [8]. The
stop and wait ARQ scheme is simple and is used in many data communication systems. However, the stop and wait
ARQ scheme is inherently inefficient because of the ideal time spend waiting for an acknowledgement is transmitted
code vector. Unless the code vector length n is extremely long the fraction of ideal time can be large [9].

D. GO-Back-N ARQ:
At the receiver, the N-1 received vectors. Therefore, the receiver needs to store only one receive vector at a time.
Because of the continuous transmission and we transmission support vector, then go back N ARQ scheme is more
efficient than the stop and wait ARQ and it can be implemented at moderate cost communication protocols [5]. Then go
back N ARQ scheme becomes inefficient when the round-trip delay is large and the data transmission rate is high. As
shown in figure the transmitter transmits code vector 1 and does not wait for acknowledgement and its continuous
transmit the next code vector 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and receiver send the ACK and NAK. There for 3 respectively,
then transmitter stop transmission of the code vector after 9. And firstly, retransmit the all data from 3 to 9 which was
in not acknowledge from the receiver after that transmit next code vector.
Fig. 10. Go-Back-N ARQ
E. Selective repeat ARQ:
In the selective repeat ARQ scheme, code better or also transmitted continuously. However, the transmitter only recent
those code vectors that are negatively acknowledged as shown in figure. Since ordinary code vectors must be delivered
to the user in the correct order a buffer must be provided. At the receiver to store the error free received vectors,
following receipt vector detected in error. When the first negatively acknowledgement code vector is successfully
received, the receiver then release the error-free received vectors in consecutive order until the next error received
vector is encountered sufficient receiver buffer must be provided otherwise buffer overflow make your and data may be
lost. The selective repeat ARQ is most efficient as per compared to other ARQ schemes [3]. However, it is also the
most complex one to implement.As shown in figure transmitter continuously transmits the code vector as in order 1 2 3
4 and so on. The receiver sends the acknowledgement to transmitter for all the code vectors and NAK or not
acknowledgement code vector transmitter re-transmits again, which was not acknowledged through the receiver after
that continue to transmit until unless not acknowledge receiving.

V.CONCLUSION
A cyclic redundancy checks this type of polynomial code is which is a bit string is represented in the form of
polynomials with coefficients of 0 and 1 only. Polynomial arithmetic uses a modulo-2 arithmetic, i.e., addition and
subtraction are identical to EX-OR. It is more powerful than the parity check and checksum error detection. The errors
in communication system usually in bust error, the parity check method is not useful in detecting the errors under such
conditions. The checksum error detection method can be used successfully in detecting such errors. In this method, the
checksum is transmitted along with every block of data byte.
