51.	Compare Error Detection and Error Correction:
	Answer: The correction of errors is more difficult than the detection. In error detection, checks only any error has occurred. In error correction, the exact number of bits that are corrupted and location in the message are known. The number of the errors and the size of the message are important factors.

52.	What is Forward Error Correction?
	Answer: Forward error correction is the process in which the receiver tries to guess the message by using redundant bits. Workspace Report errors ... Name : Email: View Answer

53.	Define Retransmission?
	Answer: Retransmission is a technique in which the receiver detects the occurrence of an error and asks the sender to resend the message. Resending is repeated until a message arrives that the receiver believes is error-freed. Workspace Report errors ... Name : Email: View Answer

54.	What are Data Words?
	Answer: In block coding, we divide our message into blocks, each of k bits, called datawords. The block coding process is one-to-one. The same dataword is always encoded as the same codeword. Workspace Report errors ... Name : Email: View Answer

55.	What are Code Words?
	Answer: "r" redundant bits are added to each block to make the length n = k + r. The resulting n-bit blocks are called codewords. 2ⁿ - 2^k codewords that are not used. These codewords are invalid or illegal. Workspace Report errors ... Name : Email: View Answer

56.	What is a Linear Block Code?
	Answer: A linear block code is a code in which the exclusive OR (addition modulo-2) of two valid codewords creates another valid codeword. Workspace Report errors ... Name : Email: View Answer

57.	What are Cyclic Codes?
	Answer: Cyclic codes are special linear block codes with one extra property. In a cyclic code, if a codeword is cyclically shifted (rotated), the result is another codeword. Workspace Report errors ... Name : Email: View Answer

58.	Define Encoder?
	Answer: A device or program that uses predefined algorithms to encode, or compress audio or video data for storage or transmission use. A circuit that is used to convert between digital video and analog video. Workspace Report errors ... Name : Email: View Answer

59.	Define Decoder?
	Answer: A device or program that translates encoded data into its original format (e.g. it decodes the data). The term is often used in reference to MPEG-2 video and sound data, which must be decoded before it is output. Workspace Report errors ... Name : Email: View Answer

60.	What is Framing?
	Answer: Framing in the data link layer separates a message from one source to a destination, or from other messages to other destinations, by adding a sender address and a destination address. The destination address defines where the packet has to go and the sender address helps the recipient acknowledge the receipt. Workspace Report errors ... Name : Email: View Answer
