Abstract
Apparatus for verifying a CRC code of a message transmitted as a succession of sub-blocks comprises dedicated hardware including a linear feedback shift register for deriving a `partial` CRC code for each individual sub-block. These partial CRC codes are held in a store for subsequent combination under software program control. The combination is performed in a iterative manner, each partial CRC code being added modulo 2 to values selected from look-up tables in accordance with the result of the previous step of the iteration. The division of the CRC verification into two operations and the use of precalculated look-up tables facilitate the efficient, simultaneous reception of many messages having interleaved sub-blocks without incurring serious time penalties.
