Comparing algebraic geometric and Reed-Solomon codes for FH-CDMA applications
Francisco de Assis, Marcelo Sampaio de Alencar · 2002
This paper presents a comparison of performance for FH-CDMA systems using either algebraic geometric (AG) or Reed-Solomon (RS) codes, for error correction. The performance measures of interest are the achievable region and the channel throughput. The achievable rate region is defined as the set of all pairs of code rate and number of users for which communication is possible, with error probability below a fixed value. The throughput measures the expected number of successful codeword transmissions per unit bandwidth.
