Priyanka Dayal, Rajeev Kumar Patial · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2013
A new class of cyclic codes that is Reed-Solomon codes are discussed for IEEE 802.16 wireless networks.Reed-Solomon codes are used for the error detection and correction in communication systems.This is important in information theory and coding to correct burst errors.Here Reed-Solomon code for wireless network 802.16 is synthesized using VHDL on Xilinx and simulated on ISE simulator.The Reed-Solomon encoder has been checked for different error-correcting capabilities that is 4, 6, 8 etc. Reed-Solomon decoder for IEEE 802.16 network is synthesized on VHDL for error detection and correction.Here pipelining is introduced in Reed-Solomon decoder to improve the performance.The performance of Reed-Solomon encoder RS (255,239) for IEEE 802.16 is shown and Reed-Solomon decoder is checked for both RS(255,243) and RS(255,239) and synthesizable on FPGA.
