B. Reed Solomon Codes
RS code is short for Reed-Solomon encoder, which is a kind
of non-binary BCH codes, and is particularly applicable in
correcting burst errors. Reed Solomon codes have higher error
correcting capability that any other codes have. The
parameters of RS code are:
m= the number of bits per symbol
n= the block length
k = the uncoded message length in symbols
(n- k) = the parity check symbols (check bytes)
t= the number of correctable symbol errors.
