PRODUCT CODE BASED FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION SYSTEM

摘要

A multidimensional forward error correction system. Transmitted data is encoded by an encoder (13) in multiple dimensions. The decoding of received data by a decoder (20) is performed in multiple passes, with corrected data rewritten into memory. The encoder (13) in one embodiment comprises a parallel column decoder and multiple row encoders encoding a (255, 239) BCH code.
