Telecom and RF CRC algorithms: Bluetooth, GSM, DECT, and more
Every cellular, short-range wireless, and radio CRC model in the catalog — Bluetooth, GSM, DECT, CDMA2000, WCDMA, LTE, UMTS — gathered in one place.

01
Cellular and short-range wireless
Cellular standards and short-range wireless links each define their own CRC rather than sharing one model across generations, so a checksum computed for one does not validate another, even at the same width.

Amateur and broadcast radio
Outside cellular standards, several amateur and broadcast radio protocols define their own CRC for telemetry or frame protection.
