US Patent 7971122 Method of computing partial CRCS

Apparatus and method of generating cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs) for a message with N data blocks. The method includes calculating a partial CRC for an out of order data block and storing the result, generating, using a division operation, a CRC remainder multiplier associated with the out of order data block and storing the result, repeating the calculating and generating steps until all N data blocks for the message are received; and combining the results of the calculating step and the generating step.
