Title: Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) Schemes
Creation_date: 2007-11-12
WG ID: rmt
Number_of_pages: 35
Abstract:
This document describes a Fully-Specified Forward Error Correction
(FEC) Scheme for the Reed-Solomon FEC codes over GF(2^^m), with m in
{2..16}, and its application to the reliable delivery of data objects
on the packet erasure channel (i.e., a communication path where
packets are either received without any corruption or discarded
during transmission).
This document also describes a Fully-Specified FEC Scheme for the
special case of Reed-Solomon codes over GF(2^^8) when there is no
encoding symbol group.
Finally, in the context of the Under-Specified Small Block Systematic
FEC Scheme (FEC Encoding ID 129), this document assigns an FEC
Instance ID to the special case of Reed-Solomon codes over GF(2^^8).
Reed-Solomon codes belong to the class of Maximum Distance Separable
(MDS) codes, i.e., they enable a receiver to recover the k source
symbols from any set of k received symbols. The schemes described
here are compatible with the implementation from Luigi Rizzo.
