Systematic MDS Erasure Codes Based on Vandermonde Matrices
Jérôme Lacan, Jérôme Fimes · IEEE Communications Letters · 2004
An increasing number of applications in computer communications uses erasure codes to cope with packet losses. Systematic maximum-distance separable (MDS) codes are often the best adapted codes. This letter introduces new systematic MDS erasure codes constructed from two Vandermonde matrices. These codes have lower coding and decoding complexities than the others systematic MDS erasure codes.
