The effect of block interleaving in a low density parity check (LDPC)-turbo concatenated code is investigated in this letter. Soft decoding can be used in an LDPC code unlike the conventional Reed-Solomon (RS) code. Thus, an LDPC-turbo concatenated code can show better performance than the conventional RS-turbo concatenated code. Furthermore, the performance of an LDPC-turbo code can be improved by using a block interleaver between the LDPC and turbo code. The average number of iterations in LDPC decoding can also be reduced by a block interleaver.

The Berlekamp-Massey algorithm, the method of using the Euclid algorithm, and Fourier transforms over a finite field can be used for the decoding of Reed-Solomon codes (called RS codes). RS codes can also be decoded by the algorithm that was developed by Peterson and refined by the Gorenstein and Zierler. However, the decoding of RS codes using the Peterson-Gorenstein-Zieler algorithm offers sometimes computational or implementation advantages. The decoding procedure of the double-error correcting (31,27) Rs code over the symbol field GF ($2^5$) will be analyized in this paper. The complete analysis, gate array design, and implementation for encoder/decoder pair of (31.27)RS code are performed with a strong theoretical justification.

UWB is the most spotlighted wireless technology that transmits data at very high rates using low power over a wide spectrum of frequency band. UWB technology makes it possible to transmit data at rate over 100Mbps within 10 meters. To preserve important header information, MB-OFDM UWB adopts Reed-Solomon(23,17) code. In receiver, RS decoder needs high speed and low latency using efficient hardware. In this paper, we suggest the architecture of RS decoder for MB-OFDM UWB. We adopts Modified-Euclidean algorithm for key equation solver block which is most complex in area. We suggest pipelined processing cell for this block and show the detailed architecture of syndrome, Chien search and Forney algorithm block. At last, we show the hardware implementation results of RS decoder for ASIC implementation.

RS부호의 복호 기법은 전체 통신 시스템의 성능 및 복잡도에 큰 영향을 미친다. 지금까지 RS부호의 복호 기법은 다양한 방법에 있으나Euclid알고리즘과 변환복호기법을 이용한 복호 기법은 오류정정능력이 큰 복호 기법으로 널리 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 오류정정능력이 5이상인 RS부호의 복호 알고리즘에 적용될 수 있는 효율적인 복호 알고리즘을 제시하고, 이를 이용하여 5중 오류 정정(31, 21)RS 부호기 및 복호기를 설계하고VHDL을 사용한 컴퓨터 시뮬레션을 통해서 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

The path key establishment phase in the wireless sensor network is vulnerable to Byzantine attack. Huang and Hedhi proposed a Byzantine resilient multi-key establishment scheme using a systematic RS code, which has shortcomings of exposing a part of message symbols and inefficient transmission. In this paper, we propose a new Byzantine resilient multi-path key establishment scheme in which direct message symbols are not exposed to an adversary and are more efficiently transmitted the RS-encoded symbols to the destination node. In the Proposed scheme, a non-systematic RS code is used to transmit a generated indirect secret key and each encoded symbol is relayed through available paths between two sensor nodes. If enough symbols are collected at the destination node, it is possible to reconstruct the secret message through RS decoding.

In this paper, an implementation of RS (Reed-Solomon) code decoder for CDP (Compact Disc Player) using microprogramming method is presented. In this decoding strategy, the equations composed of Newton's identities are used for computing the coefficients of the error locator polynomial and for checking the number of erasures in C2(outer code). Also, in C2 decoding the values of erasures are computed from syndromes and the results of C1(inner code) decoding. We pulled up the error correctability by correcting 4 erasures or less. The decoder contains an arithmetic logic unit over GF(28) for error correcting and a decoding controller with programming ROM, and also microinstructions. Microinstructions are used for an implementation of a decoding algorithm for RS code. As a result, it can be easily modified for upgrade or other applications by changing the programming ROM only. The decoder is implemented by the Logic Level Modeling of Verilog HDL. In the decoder, each microinstruction has 14 bits( = 1 word), and the size of the programming ROM is 360 words. The number of the maximum clock-cycle for decoding both C1 and C2 is 424.

This paper introduces that domestic animals can be effectively administered with an individual recognition system. The system was constructed in original code transmitter, receiver, personal computer, micro-processor, and RS485 telecommunications module. In the individual recognition system. the signal including encoded information about a milk-cow was transmitted from an original code transmitter to a micro-processor through RS485 telecommunications module. The transmitted signal was successfully displayed in a personal computer.

A passive Optical Network (PON) is famous for the most cost-efficient solution among the optical networks. This is because there is no active device between a central office and subscribers. A wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) offers each subscriber to feel unlimited bandwidth. A WDM-PON, however, has a cost problem that WDM-PON is used commercially. To solve this trouble, it is surveyed that a Sub-Carrier Multiplexing (SCM) used in a WDM-PON increases the number of subscribers. The performance of WDM/SCM-PON varies with various noises. The several FEC Codes can reduce the effects of noise and improve the performance of the system. Thus, Choosing a suitable FEC code is important work. This paper describes that a Reed-Solomon (RS) code is the most suitable code for WDM/SCM-PON at the object of 100 Mbps and $10^{-9}$ BER

In this paper, we design a versatle RS decoder which can decode RS codes of any block length n as well as any message length k, based on a modified Euclid's algorithm (MEA). This unique feature is favorable for a shortened RS code of any block length it eliminates the need to insert zeros before decoding a shortened RS code. Furthermore, the value of error correcting capability t can be changed in real time at every codeword block. Thus, when a return channel is available, the error correcting capability can be adaptiverly altered according to channel state. The decoder permits 4-step pipelined processing : (1) syndrome calculation (2) MEA block (3) error magnitude calculation (4) decoder failure check. Each step is designed to form a structure suitable for decoding a RS code with varying block length. A new architecture is proposed for a MEA block in step (2) and an architecture of outputting in reversed order is employed for a polynomial evaluation in step (3). To maintain to throughput rate with less circuitry, the MEA block uses not only a multiplexing and recursive technique but also an overclocking technique. The adaptive RS decoder over GF($2^8$) with the maximal error correcting capability of 10 has been designed in VHDL, and successfully synthesized in a FPGA.
