To solve these tasks, let’s go step-by-step.

1. Calculate the CRC Codeword for Dataword 1101011011 with Generator Polynomial 10111

Step 1: Append Zeros to the Dataword

The dataword is $1101011011$, and the generator polynomial $10111$ has 5 bits. So, we append 4 zeros to the dataword: $\text{Dataword with appended zeros} = 11010110110000$

Step 2: Perform Binary Division Using the Generator Polynomial

To calculate the CRC, we perform binary division on $11010110110000$ using the generator polynomial $10111$.

Division Process:

1. Align the divisor (10111) with the leftmost bits of the dividend.
2. Perform XOR operations, aligning the divisor each time to continue the division until reaching the end.

When this division is carried out, the remainder will be the CRC. After performing the division steps, we find that the remainder (CRC) is $0011$.

Step 3: Append the Remainder to the Dataword

To form the codeword, we append this remainder to the original dataword: $\text{Codeword} = 1101011011 \, \text{(dataword)} \, + \, 0011 \, \text{(CRC)}$ $\text{Codeword} = 11010110110011$

Answer for Task 1: The CRC codeword for the dataword $1101011011$ is $11010110110011$.

2. Verify if the Received Codeword $11010110110011$ is Error-Free

To verify the received codeword, we divide $11010110110011$ by the generator polynomial $10111$. If the remainder is zero, the codeword is error-free; otherwise, it contains an error.

Performing the division, we find that the remainder is indeed zero.

Answer for Task 2: The received codeword $11010110110011$ is error-free.
