I have several doubts about this coded forms. It is known that Reed-Solomon is a good code agains burns errors. Also, it is known that Concatenated Reed-Solomon and convolutional coding with interlaving run very cool. But i want compare only a simple Reed-Solomon versus a Convolutional coding with a good interleaving. I think that if you put an interleaver-deinterlaver system, then...

Hi all, I'd like to announce that the open source Schifra C++ Reed-Solomon error correcting code library is now available and awaiting your download. What is it? Schifra is a very robust, highly optimized and extremely configurable Reed-Solomon error correcting code library implemented in C++. Schifra supports standard, shortened and punctured Reed-Solomon codes. It also has support ...

Hi, I have worked a bit on Reed-Solomon codes over GF(2^m). However, a co-student of mine asked me to help him with a Reed-Solomon code over GF(3^2). I have two questions: How do I construct the field GF(3^2)? With a GF(2^m) field it is quite easy. You derive the field using a primitive binary polynomial of degree m. Also, how do I perform addition and multiplication? My second ...

Hi All, I'm have just been asked to try and implement a Matlab version of encoding for the Reed Solomon algorithm. I have done some research and have found information, but I think I am still missin one piece to the puzzle. I have an array of 1115 bytes that I am trying to encode with the (255,223) Reed solomon encoding. Also, I need an interleave of 5. So I have created an array that is 5 ...

Hi All, I want to use the Reed Solomon (255,247) codedec from : http://www.humanistic.org/~hendrik/reed-solomon/index.html My question is about the polynomial generator that is used to build the encoder of RS (255,247) codec. as the literature says, g(x) is calculated like this : g(x) = (x- a^b)(x- a^(b +1))(x- a^(b+2)).........(x- a^(b+2t-1 )) b= 1 : for narrow-sens RS codes, but in this ...

I use Maple to construct the binary code for a Reed Solomon RS(n,k). I use the construction from this website, omitting all the steps after the construction. http://www.mapleprimes.com/blog/dcasimir/reed-solomon-error-correcting-code . So, basically, i get a code for RS(2^n - 1, t) code. I pre-assume, i got that from RS(n,k) and 2t=n-k, with a primitive polynomial of degree n. Now, i know, ...

Hello, I am trying to implement a COFDM System which has an IFFT/FFT length of 64. Out of 64 carriers, 8 are set aside for nulls and pilots (56 remaining). So, out of Reed Solomon encoder I want to get 56 bits which will then be convolutionally encoded and modulated using QPSK before presenting them as inputs to the IFFT. So, in order to 56 bits out of the Reed Solomon Encoder, I w...

I'm having a little trouble understanding reed solomon encoding. I'm currently creating a datamatrix encoder which uses reed solomon to generate error correction code words. As an example I'm basically trying to generate 5 check characters for the numbers: 142 164 186. The polynomial divisor for generating 5 check characters is: g(x) = x^5 + 62x^4 + 111x^3 +144x^2 + 68x + 23 however I'm ...

Hi all, I am doing some research on implementing Reed-Solomon Codes and would like to read some information about the computational complexity in implementing Reed-Solomon Codes. Could anyone site some nice references to reed about this. I would like to know the details of the number of multipliers needed and also about the number of memory locations needed to implement and (n,k) R-S code...

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a Engineering Student and i am making a Reed Solomon Codec that will encode any file and the decoder will fix errors introduced in the file. The decoder will be able to fix upto 16 symbol errors. I need Detailed Theory on Reed Solomon Encoders and Decoders. I will have to first study the theory and then start writing programs for the encoder and decoder. If you h...

Hi, I need an algorithm for decoding errors-and-erasures of Reed-Solomon codes. Can anyone recommend literature (books and/or articles) that explains such an algorithm which is also quite easy to implement?

Hi, In [1], a decoding algorithm for errors and erasures for Reed-Solomon codes is briefly stated. The algorithm uses the Massey-Berlekamp algorithm to find the error-locators, and Forney's algorithm to find the values of the errors and erasures. However, the decoding algorithm is for the Reed-Solomon codes generated by g(x) = (x - a^1)(x - a^2)...(x - a^[n-k]). How should I adapt For...

I don't know if this is a dumb-ass question or not. Let's say I have a physical layer that deals in M-ary symbols -- say 8- ary. And let's say that if a '4' is received, the most likely word to have been transmitted is a 4, followed by 3 and 5, followed by 2 and 6, etc. Now -- if I'm decoding this with a Reed-Solomon decoder with hard decisions, does it make use of this "closer is be...
