Kinds of errors

Question

Specify the kinds of errors and discuss the terms?

Answer 1

There exist two types of errors:

a) Single-bit error.

b) Burst-bit error.

Single bit error: The term single bit error signifies that only one bit of the given data unit (just like byte character/data unit or packet) is altered from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1.

Burst error: It specifies that two or more bits within the data unit have altered from 1 to 0 from 0 to 1.
