INERLEAVED REED SOLOMON CODING FOR HOME NETWORKING

摘要

A method of transmitting and receiving data packets over a channel susceptible to random burst and/or white gaussian noise channel errors. Each data packet is encoded to form error correctable encoded data packets. Each error correctable encoded data packet is interleaved to form interleaved error correctable encoded data packets. Each interleaved error correctable encoded data packet is modulated to form modulated interleaved error correctable encoded data packets. Each modulated interleaved error correctable encoded data packet transmitted is over the channel. The encoding includes performing Reed Solomon encoding on each data packet to form Reed Solomon error correctable encoded data packet. Each data packet is cyclic redundancy check encoded prior to performing Reed Solomon encoding.
