Implementation And Performance Of Error Correction Codes For High-Speed Computer Networks, Jochen Spengler

Dissertations and Theses

During the transmission of data there is always a possibility that errors occur and some pieces are modified. If the receiver detects an error it either sends a request for retransmission or, like in networks using Ethernet, it does not send an acknowledgment for the erroneous frame. In this case the sender waits a certain time and retransmits the frame. With the development of faster computer networking hardware and the need for more real-time applications, these errors have become a major concern. Long retransmission latencies and the need for large memories for buffering drive the development of more reliable network …
