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 have any usefull information on Reed SOlomon Codecs please let me know. Thanks, Happy Holidays! Ritesh

You can find out more by searching Google for the terms "Reed Solomon," "linear block code" or "forward error correction," or by going to the library and checking books on the same topics. Wicker, Roman, and Peterson have books on these topics. If you're just now learning the theory, I suggest you start with the books and stay away from the journals. -- Randy Yates Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications Research Triangle Park, NC, USA randy.yates@sonyericsson.com, 919-472-1124

You can find theory of RS codes theory in all the error correcting codes texts. e.g. Lin&Costello or Richard Blahut's text. I had used the former one. The essential galois field theory part which is a prerequisite is also in those texts. Besides this you will find lot of tutorials on the net. For source code have a look at http://www.eccpage.com/ regards Piyush

Try to study a book first then google for additional info good luck

Try to study a book first then google for > additional infoHi, I saw a bunch of books referenced here, but never the book by Todd Moon "Error Correction Coding: Mathematical Methods and Algorithms". I am thinking about using it as a self-study book on that subject and was wondering whether someone has a comment about it? Cheers, Guenter
