Question 349

What is the role of ARQ in a transmission system?

  1. A special transmission format limited to video signals
  2. A system used to encrypt command signals to an amateur radio satellite
  3. An error correction method in which the receiving station detects errors and sends a request for retransmissionCorrect answer
  4. A method of compressing data using autonomous reiterative Q codes prior to final encoding

Explanation

ARQ stands for Automatic Repeat reQuest: the receiving station checks each block for errors and, when a block fails, asks the sender to transmit it again, so the data eventually arrives intact. It corrects errors by retransmission rather than by compression or encryption.
