Abstract: Reed-Solomon Codes are popularly used for error correction in many applications like storage devices (CD, DVD), wireless communications, high speed modems and satellite communications. In this paper, a modified scheme for programmable generator polynomial based Reed-Solomon encoder and decoder has been proposed. The works reported in this paper corrects errors in derived equations and decoder architecture proposed by Shayan et al. Moreover, modified architectures for programmable generator polynomial based Reed-Solomon encoder and decoder are reported.
Keywords: Reed-Solomon Code, Finite Field, Encoder and Decoder Architectures
