Abstract
Apparatus to permit the correction of a single bit error occurring in a sequence of data packets (e.g. bytes) comprising data bits. An encoder produces an error correction packet (e.g. byte), the value of which is determined algebraically from the value of bits in the data sequence. All data packets and the error correction packet have a predetermined parity. A decoder receives the sequence of data packets and error correction packet. If a single bit error in the data bits has occurred during transmission, one data packet is identified as having in it the bit in error. Algebraically, the data bit in error is identified and corrected.
