Question 476

How does ARQ accomplish error correction?

  1. Special binary codes provide automatic correction
  2. Special polynomial codes provide automatic correction
  3. If errors are detected, redundant data is substituted
  4. If errors are detected, a retransmission is requestedCorrect answer

Explanation

ARQ stands for automatic repeat request: the receiver checks each block, and when the check fails it uses the return path to ask the sender to transmit that block again. Reconstructing the data from redundancy carried within the transmission, with no return path, is forward error correction — a different technique.
