Original research DESIGN OF REED SOLOMON FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION (RSFEC) AND DEVELOPMENT OF VERIFICATION MODELPages 195-200
Abstract
Reed Solomon belongs to the family of Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) codes, but is distinguished by having multi-bit symbols. This makes the code particularly good at dealing with bursts of errors because, although a symbol may have all its bits in error, this counts as only one symbol error in terms of the correction capacity of the code. The reliability of data transmission is a constant concern, especially in applications where errors can have severe consequences.
Companies developing communication components, such as HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB, face the challenge of ensuring the correctness of their RSFEC implementations. The absence of a standardized verification model complicates the validation process, leading to potential errors in communication systems. Here using Questa Sim a generic verification model is build which ensures the correctness of RS codes.
Keywords: Forward Error Correction (FEC), syndrome, Galois field, Chien Search algorithm, Forney’s algorithm.
