Abstract

System and method for rapidly calculating CRC values for messages including encoded bits is described. Tabularized CRC values are used in combination with a logical grid to quickly determine an appropriate CRC value of a message. This determination can take into account encoded inversion bits in the message. A collection of pre-calculated CRC values are arranged in a single-column table and then implemented with selected bits of a message by superimposing the bits in each CRC value onto a logical grid. Vertical lines of the grid are associated with 30 exclusive OR (XOR) gates and horizontal lines are associated with bits in an 88-bit message (or the 30 bits of a CRC value or with 8 bits of a sequence number). Through this grid, the inputs to the XOR gates are determined, thereby facilitating rapid calculations of CRC values due to the high processing speeds possible in XOR gates.
