International audience. In this paper, we propose a novel method for correcting multiple errors in data packets, using the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) syndrome present in low layers of protocol stacks. The proposed method generates the whole list of error patterns, leading to a received syndrome containing up to a given maximum number of errors. Our approach is table-free, is computationally efficient, and can instantly correct erroneous packets when the output list contains a single element. A performance study is conducted, and shows that the proposed approach outperforms existing ones in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) as it can correct all single- and double-error patterns as well as most triple-error cases when considering small payloads used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
