Abstract
A Reed-Solomon error correcting apparatus is programmable to perform several distinct error correction functions, namely, encoding, error detection, syndrome generation, burst error trapping, and Chien searching. The apparatus essentially comprises a set of two t registers (30) where t is the number of errors to be corrected, a set of two t exclusive-OR gates (32), a set oftwottop multiplexers (34), a set of two t bottom multiplexers (36), a first set of two t Galois Field multipliers (S0-S19), a second set of two Galois Field multipliers (G0-G19), a feedback multiplexer (42), a lead exclusive-OR gate (40), an AND gate (46), t-1 ordered Chien exclusive-OR gates (52) and a controller (12).

Method and device for decoding burst error of reed-solomon code

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and device for decoding error correcting codes by which the position of a burst error can be calculated with an extremely small amount of calculation by calculating a syndrome Si (i=0,.., 2t-1) of t-multiple byte error correcting RS codes at a first step and calculating the (j) (j≤t) factors of an error position polynominal (Z)=1+σ1Z+..+σjZj, by using the syndrome Si at a second step.

Architecture for VLSI Design of Reed-Solomon Decoders

TL;DR: In this correspondence the logic structure of a universal VLSI chip called the symbol-slice Reed-Solomon (RS) encoder chip is presented and it is shown that a (255, 223) RS encoder requiring around 40 discrete CMOS IC's may be replaced by anRS encoder consisting of four identical interconnected V LSI RS encoding chips.

Decoding method and apparatus for bose-chaudhuri-hocquenghem codes

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for decoding BCH codes is described, where a code word encoded in a t-error-correcting BCH code is first processed to obtain the power sum symmetric functions thereof, which are then recursively solved by the arithmetic operations of addition and multiplication to obtain a polynomial whose roots give the location of errors in the code word.
