Which of the following channel coding scheme helps in correcting burst errors? Correct Answer Reed-Solomon
Reed-Solomon codes:
1) These codes are particularly well suited to correcting burst errors (where a series of bits in the codeword are received in error).
2) Reed-Solomon algebraic decoding procedures can correct errors and erasures. An erasure occurs when the position of an erred symbol is known.
3) These codes are based on univariate polynomials over finite fields.
4) They are used to detect and correct multiple errors i.e. burst errors.
Extra Information:
Cyclic redundancy check:
1) CRC is a different approach to detect if the received frame contains valid data. This technique involves a binary division of the data bits being sent.
2) The divisor is generated using polynomials. The sender performs a division operation on the bits being sent and calculates the remainder.
3) Before sending the actual bits, the sender adds the remainder at the end of the actual bits. Actual data bits plus the remainder is called a codeword.
4) The sender transmits data bits as codewords. At the other end, the receiver performs division operation on codewords using the same CRC divisor.
5) If the remainder contains all zeros the data bits are accepted, otherwise it is considered as there some data corruption occurred in transit.
