Reed-Solomon coding performance with errors and erasures decoding on a Rayleigh fading channel
Paul J. Crepeau, Karen W. Halford · 2002
Presents analytical results for a specific case of message transmission over a Rayleigh fading channel using NCMFSK signaling and RS coding with errors and erasures decoding. The authors show that errors and erasures decoding provides greater than 3 dB coding gain compared to errors-only (hard decision) decoding. Furthermore, it is shown that the ratio of erasures to errors must be very large to achieve minimum message error probability.>
