Abstract

An error in data communication is very common and it cannot be avoided. The error is of two types, such as single bit and burst error, which is depends upon noise present in the path via the data, is transferred. There are various method used for the detection of this error, and this is done on the basis of even or odd parity. In this paper, a hamming code technique is used to detect and correct the single bit error. An extra bit is sent to receive along with the original data known as a parity bit, this is also done on the basis of even or odd parity. This extra bit will enhance the security of the data being transferred.
