In this paper, a VlSI architecture for Reed-Solomon (RS) decoder based on the Berlekamp algorithm is proposed. The proposed decoder provided both erasure and error correcting capability. In order to reduc the chip area, we reformulate the Berlekamp algorithm. The proposed algorithm possesses a recursive structure so that the number of cells for computing the errata locator polynomial can be reduced. Moreover, in our approach, only one finite field multiplication per clock cycle is required for implementation, provided an improvement in the decoding speed, and the overall architecture features parallel and pipelined structure, making a real time decoding possible. From the performance evaluation, it is concluded that the proposed VLSI architecture is more efficient in terms of VLSI implementation than the rcursive architecture based on the Euclid algorithm.

In this paper, the efficient architecture of small Reed-solomon architecture is suggested. Here, 3-stage pipeline is adopted. In decoding, error-location polynomials are obtained by BMA using fast iteration method, and syndrome polynomials, where calculation complexity is required, are obtained by parallel calculation using ROM table, and the roots of error location polynomial are calculated by ROM table using Chein search algorithm. In the suggested decoder, it is confirmed that 3 symbol random errors can be corrected and 124Mbps decoding rate is obtained using 25 Mhz system clock.

Using good properties of an optimal normal basis of type I in a finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}$, we present a design of a bit serial multiplier of Berlekamp type, which is very effective in computing $xy^2$. It is shown that our multiplier does not need a basis conversion process and a squaring operation is a simple permutation in our basis. Therefore our multiplier provides a fast and an efficient hardware architecture for a bit serial multiplication of two elements in ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}$.

This paper presents a high-speed low-complexity pipelined Reed-Solomon (RS) (255,239) decoder using pipelined reformulated inversionless Berlekamp-Massey (pRiBM) algorithm and its folded version (PF-RiBM). Also, this paper offers efficient pipelining and folding technique of the RS decoders. This architecture uses pipelined Galois-Field (GF) multipliers in the syndrome computation block, key equation solver (KES) block, Forney block, Chien search block and error correction block to enhance the clock frequency. A high-speed pipelined RS decoder based on the pRiBM algorithm and its folded version have been designed and implemented with 90-nm CMOS technology in a supply voltage of 1.1 V. The proposed RS(255,239) decoder operates at a clock frequency of 700 MHz using the pRiBM architecture and also operates at a clock frequency of 750 MHz using the PF-RiBM, respectively. The proposed architectures feature high clock frequency and low-complexity.

This paper presents a method of designing a Bit-Serial Reed-Solomon encoder using Berlekamp's Bit-Serial Multiplier Algorithm and the implementation of the (255, 223) Bit-Serial Reed-Solomon encoder using TTL logics. It is shown from these results that this encoder require substanitially less hardware than the convenional Reed-Solomon encoders.

We develop two algorithms that nd a minimal polynomial of a finite sequence. One uses Euclid's algorithm, and the other is in essence a minimal polynomial version of the Berlekamp-Massey algorithm. They are formulated naturally and proved algebraically using polynomial arithmetic. They connects up seamlessly with decoding procedure of alternant codes.

The Berlekamp-Massey algorithm, the method of using the Euclid algorithm, and Fourier transforms over a finite field can be used for the decoding of Reed-Solomon codes (called RS codes). RS codes can also be decoded by the algorithm that was developed by Peterson and refined by the Gorenstein and Zierler. However, the decoding of RS codes using the Peterson-Gorenstein-Zieler algorithm offers sometimes computational or implementation advantages. The decoding procedure of the double-error correcting (31,27) Rs code over the symbol field GF ($2^5$) will be analyized in this paper. The complete analysis, gate array design, and implementation for encoder/decoder pair of (31.27)RS code are performed with a strong theoretical justification.

Reed-Solomon(RS) codes have been employed to correct burst errors in applications such as CD-ROM, HDTV, ATM and digital VCRs. For the decoding RS codes, the Berlekamp-Massey algorithm, Euclidean algorithm and modified Euclidean algorithm(MEA) have been developed among which the MEA becomes the most popular decoding scheme. We propose an efficient recursive cell architecture suitable for the MEA. The advantages of the proposed scheme are twofold. First, The proposed architecture uses about 25% less clock cycles required in the MEA operation than[1]. Second, the number of recursive MEA cells can be reduced, when the number of clock cycles spent in the MEA operation is larger than code word length n. thereby buffer requirement for the received words can be reduced. For demonstration, the MEA circurity for (128,124) RS code have been described and the MEA operation is verified through VHDL.

In this paper we present a method of determining the unknown degree of any 2D discrete linear shift-invariant system which is characterized only by the coefficients of the double power series of a transfer function, i.e. a 2D impulse response array. Our method is based on a 2D extension of Berlekamp-Massey algorithm for synthesis of linear feedback shift registers, and it gives a novel approach to identification and approximation of 2D linear systems, which can be distinguished in its simplicity and potential of applicability from the other 2D Levinson-type algorithms. Furthermore, we can solve problems of 2D Pade approximation and 2D system reduction on a reasonable assumption in the context of 2D linear systems theory.
