Hello I wanted to know the difference that can exist between(among) a flow of bits that goes out of a decodificador viterbi + Reed solomon and the flow of bits originally in a transmission of tdt cofdm That is to say: do I obtain the same result to the exit of the corrector Reed Solomon with a BER before Viterbi of 9-6 that with a BER before Viterbi of 2-2? Said otherwise: Do I obtain the same result to the exit of the corrector Reed Solomon with a BER after Viterbi of 9-6 that with a BER after Viterbi of 2-2? Muchisimas thank you
forward error correction capabilities?

You should be able to find via some google searches plots of BER vs Eb/No or BER vs SNR for a typical Viterbi decoder, typical Reed-Solomon (only) decoder, and typical concatenated CC-RS system with a Viterbi decoder and RS decoder. In all cases the curves have a slope, so there is a transfer function of input BER to output BER. For the Viterbi decoder by itself the slope is not as steep as it is with a system that uses an RS decoder, either by itself or concatenated with a Viterbi, but there is still a slope. The slope gets difficult to measure below error rates of 10e-9 or 10e-10 or so just because the tests take so long to run, and at some point in a practical system the limits of the dynamic range and noise floor will be reached. So there should always be a difference in output error rate if there is a difference in input error rate. -- Eric Jacobsen Minister of Algorithms Abineau Communications http://www.abineau.com

So the expected BER can be estimated from noise floor and code performance. There is no need to make long runs unless the goal is verification of the decoder operation.

My interest takes root in knowing the qualit diferencia of image between(among) a sign, for example, with BER before Viterbi of 1e-6 and other one with BER of 1e-2 From the point of view of the technician installer is interesting to be able to offer to a client the major quality of possible image, but visually it is very difficult to know the quality of a digital image If an image with BER before Viterbi of 1e-6 has almost the same quality that one of BER before Viterbi of 1e-2 probably does not deserve to the pena to invest(invert) in improving the quality of receipt looking for better emplacements for to the antena since this work podrian it being done by the correctors Viterbi and Reed Solomon Thank you very much and sorry for my translator-english

Modify the original text until the output will be more or less sensible; hopefully it will be reasonable in Japanese as well. Perhaps, such procedure of optimization could be automated.
