1 Remember , the receiver processes incoming data the same way as the transmitter . The example for the receiver begins when all data bits but not the transmitted CRC have been received correctly . Therefore, the receiver CRC should be equal to the transmitted CRC at this point. When this occurs, the output of the CRC algorithm will be zero indicat[...]
