Transferring data without error when there is a lot of background noise is a challenge. Dr. Claude E. Shannon in 1948 provided guidance with his theory addressing the ...

test and verify the Reed-Solomon codec. Each of these steps is important, and missing one results in developing hardware that does not work the first time and must be re-created. For example, it is ...

Reed–Solomon codes have long been celebrated for their robust error-correction capabilities in digital communications and data storage. Decoding algorithms for these codes continue to evolve ...

RW’s sister publication TV Technology reports this item of interest: In analog communications, error correction depends on the ability of humans “decoding” the ...

Reed-Solomon error correction has several applications in broadcasting, in particular forming part of the specification for the ETSI digital terrestrial television ...

Using this binary foundation, Reed and Solomon attempted to shush these whispers even further. But their error-correction codes weren’t put into use straight away. They couldn’t, in fact—the ...

Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes: Error-correcting codes based on sparse parity-check matrices that enable efficient iterative decoding. Reed-Solomon (RS) codes: Non-binary linear block codes ...

The most famous examples of locally correctable codes are versions of a venerable error-correcting code invented in 1954 by the mathematicians David Muller and Irving Reed (who also helped develop ...
