Information on Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a very efficient error detection algorithm that uses a polynomial function to generate the block check characters.


Other topics in our resources on Communications Systems related to Cyclic redundancy check include: 
 
  • Error detection and correction
  • Forward Error Correction (FEC)
  • Error detecting code (EDC)

  • Block code
  • Automatic repeat request (ARQ)

  • Cyclic code
  • Frame check sequence (FCS)
  • Convolutional code
