Abstract
The invention concerns a method and devices for the detection of errors, in particular transmission errors, in data streams and/or data packets. In order to better detect systematic errors in particular, the error detection function according to the invention is variable. The detection function is varied on the basis of the time and/or the data themselves, for example by assigning an individual variation value to each index (packet index), effectively varying the data themselves. The invention is particularly suitable for application to compressed data streams.
Claims4
A device for producing error checking based on original data provided in blocks with each block having plural bits in a particular ordered sequence, comprising:
- a generating device configured to generate check data;
- and
- a varying device configured to vary original data prior to supplying said original data to the generating device as varied data;
- wherein said varying device includes a permutating device configured to perform a permutation of bit position relative to said particular ordered sequence for at least some of the bits in each of said blocks making up said original data without reordering any blocks of original data.
