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, aiming ...

Whether you’re passing secret notes in class or downloading images from a space probe, Reed-Solomon codes offer an ingenious way to embed information and correct for errors. Space exploration requires ...

The IRS option is faster, and is especially efficient at beyond-bound correction of single- or double-device failures. Here we describe a new family of “unraveling” Reed-Solomon codes that bridges the ...

Other block codes are Hamming and Golay. Reed-Solomon An RS code works with a message containing data symbols and a set of parity symbols that are appended to the data. The details are specified by {n ...
