Signal transmission system with an error control technique

摘要

A signal transmission system embodying this invention which can control errors comprises a selective automatic repeat request (ARQ) system for controlling errors occurring in transmission of data on telephone data communication channels. With this selective ARQ system, an error-controlling signal conducted through a backward channel does not contain a check bit for detection or correction of errors, thereby preventing a time loss which might occur if a error-control signal was repeatedly issued between the transmission and receiving sides. The subject signal-transmitting apparatus is adapted to be used in a static image transmission having a large amount of data and has such a circuit arrangement as attains the efficient transmission of data and the display of an error-free image of good picture quality.
