Dynamically adjustable cyclic redundancy code rates

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 a specified number of 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, the specified number of frames of bits based at least in part on a CRC rate;
• and
• determining whether a change in transmission errors has occurred in the received frames, the determining comprising performing a CRC check on the received frames;
• and
• initiating, at the receiver, an increase in the CRC rate based at least in part on determining that change in transmission errors has occurred in the received frames, wherein the increase in the CRC rate is synchronized between the receiver and the transmitter, and increasing the CRC rate is 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 a specified number of 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, the specified number of frames of bits based at least in part on a CRC rate;
• and
• determining whether a change in transmission errors has occurred in the received frames, the determining comprising performing a CRC check on the received frames;
• and
• initiating, at the receiver, an increase in the CRC rate based at least in part on determining that a change in transmission errors has occurred in the received frames, wherein the increase in the CRC rate is synchronized between the receiver and the transmitter, and increasing the CRC rate is performed in parallel with functional operations performed by the receiver.
