Techniques that may be used in communication systems include encoding (18, 20, 22) a stream of data using concatenated BCH codes, communicating the encoded data over a transmission medium (14), and decoding (24, 26, 28, 30) the encoded data using the BCH codes. The overhead of the concatenated BCH codes may substantially match the overhead of the Reed-Solomon RS(255/239) code. Examples of pairs of concatenated BCH codes include [BCH(2040,1952), BCH(3904, 3832)] and [BCH(2040, 1941), BCH(3882, 3834)]. |
