Multiple-Symbol Interleaved RS Codes and Two-Pass Decoding Algorithm

摘要

For communication systems with heavy burst noise,an optimal Forward Error Correction (FEC) scheme is expected to have a large burst error correction capability while simultaneously owning moderate random error correction capability.This letter presents a new FEC scheme based on multiple-symbol interleaved Reed-Solomon codes and an associated two-pass decoding algorithm.It is shown that the proposed multi-symbol interleaved Reed-Solomon scheme can achieve nearly twice as much as the burst error correction capability of conventional single-symbol interleaved Reed-Solomon codes with the same code length and code rate.
