Reed-Solomon encoder/decoder application using a neural network
Mukhtar Hussain, Jatinder S. Bedi · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1991
Reed-Solomon codes are widely used in deep-space communication, compact disc audio systems, and frequency-hopped systems. However, the VLSI implementation of these codes is still very complex, and encoding/decoding by using these chips is very time consuming. Neural network implementation of these codes has resulted in reduced complexity, enhanced error correction capability, fast processing, and improved signal-to-noise ratio. The proposed scheme requires less bandwidth, utilizes soft decision decoding, and exploits the redundancy in the English language.© (1991) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
