Reed Solomon Coding For Error Detection and Correction

The purpose of this paper is to study and analyze the performance and efficiency of Reed Solomon (RS) coding. In coding theory, Reed Solomon codes are the subset of BCH codes that are one of the most powerful known classes of linear cyclic block codes. Reed Solomon (RS) codes are very efficient and best for correction of burst errors and have a wide range of applications in digital communication and data storage. Reed-Solomon (RS) is the most powerful technique used for error detection and correction at present. In the present world, communication system which includes wireless, satellite and space communication, reducing error is being critical. During message transferring the data might get corrupted, so high bit error rate of the wireless communication system requires employing to various coding methods for transferring the data. Channel coding for detection and correction of error helps the communication systems design to reduce the noise effect during transmission.
