In this paper the problem of achieving reliable digital information transfer in the presence of data errors is addressed. The approach taken is to reject data which is suspected of being in error under the philosophy that it is better to miss data than to receive it incorrectly. To this end, error detection mechanisms are considered and their performance compared for a specific application. The mechanisms are thresholding, error detection coding, waveform error detection and feedback. It is shown that error detection coding is the most effective, followed by feedback, thresholding, then waveform error detection. The results are summarized in Tables I and II. These tables give the undetected word error rate and missed word rates for the techniques considered. The application which originally inspired this work is the use of time-division multiplexing to transfer mission-critical data on the B-1 aircraft.Sponsors
