Frame Check Sequence (FCS)
Overview
CRC Calculation
The Frame Check Sequence (FCS) is characterized by:
The FCS is intended for use at the MAC layer to detect corrupted frames at a first level of filter-
ing. It is computed by applying an ITU CRC polynomial to all transferred bytes following the
length field (MHR and MSDU fields). The frame check sequence has a length of 16 bit and is
located in the last two bytes of a frame (MAC footer, see
The AT86RF231 applies an FCS check on each received frame. The FCS check result is stored
in register bit RX_CRC_VALID in register 0x06 (PHY_RSSI).
On transmit the radio transceiver generates and appends the FCS bytes during the frame trans-
mission. This behavior can be disabled by setting register bit TX_AUTO_CRC_ON = 0 (register
0x04, TRX_CTRL_1).
The CRC polynomial used in IEEE 802.15.4 networks is defined by:
The FCS shall be calculated for transmission using the following algorithm:
Let
be the polynomial representing the sequence of bits for which the checksum is to be computed.
Multiply M(x) by x
Divide N(x) modulo 2 by the generator polynomial, G
The FCS field is given by the coefficients of the remainder polynomial, R(x).
Example:
Considering a 5 octet ACK frame. The MHR field consists of
0100 0000 0000 0000 0101 0110.
