Dynamically adjustable cyclic redundancy code types

A system comprising:

• a memory having computer readable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions controlling the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• monitoring bits received at a receiver via a communication channel for transmission errors, the monitoring comprising:
• receiving frames of bits from a transmitter communicatively coupled to the receiver via the communication channel, at least one of the received frames comprising cyclic redundancy code (CRC) bits for a first type of CRC check;
• and
• determining whether a change in transmission errors has occurred in the received frames, the determining comprising performing the first type of CRC check based at least in part on the received CRC bits and payload bits in the received frames;
• and
• initiating, at the receiver, a change from the first type of CRC check to a second type of CRC check based at least in part on determining that a change is transmission errors has occurred in the received frames, wherein the change is synchronized between the receiver and the transmitter, and performed in parallel with functional operations performed by the receiver.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• monitoring bits received at a receiver via a communication channel for transmission errors, the monitoring comprising:
• receiving frames of bits from a transmitter communicatively coupled to the receiver via the communication channel, at least one of the received frames comprising cyclic redundancy code (CRC) bits for a first type of CRC check;
• and
• determining whether a change in transmission errors has occurred in the received frames, the determining comprising performing the first type of CRC check based at least in part on the received CRC bits and payload bits in the received frames;
• and
• initiating, at the receiver, a change from the first type of CRC check to a second type of CRC check based at least in part on determining that a change in transmission errors has occurred in the received frames, wherein the change is synchronized between the receiver and the transmitter, and performed in parallel with functional operations performed by the receiver.
