In this paper, the performance analysis of telemetering method using delayed frame time diversity (DFTD) as the outer code and Reed-Solomon (RS) code as the inner code is described. DFTD is used to transmit a real-time frame together with a time-delayed frame which was saved in the memory during a defined period. The RS code as a kind of FEC (forward error correction) is serially concatenated with DFTD. This method was applied to the design of telemetry units that have been used for flight tests in a communication environment with deep fading. The data of the flight test for four cases with no applied code, with DFTD only, with the RS code only, and with both DFTD and the RS code are used to analyze the performance. The simulation for time-delay suggests the possibility that all frame errors can be removed. And the results of 12 flight tests show the performance superiority of this new method to compare with the RS code only.

In wireless sensor networks, the data transmitted from the sensor nodes are susceptible to corruption by errors which caused of noisy channels and other factors. In view of the severe energy constraint in Sensor Networks, it is important to use the error control scheme of the energy efficiently. In this paper, we presented RS (Reed-Solomon) codes in terms of their BER performance and power consumption. RS codes work by adding extra redundancy to the data. The encoded data can be stored or transmitted. It could have errors introduced, when the encoded data is recovered. The added redundancy allows a decoder to detect which parts of the received data is corrupted, and corrects them. The number of errors which are able to be corrected by RS code can determine by added redundancy. The results of experiment validate the performance of proposed method to provide high degree of reliability in low-power communication. We could predict the lifetime of RS codes which transmitted at 32 byte a 1 minutes. RS(15, 13), RS(31, 27), RS(63, 57), RS(127,115), and RS(255,239) can keep the days of 173.7, 169.1, 163.9, 150.7, and 149.7 respectively. The evaluation based on packet reception ratio (PRR) indicates that the RS(255,239) extends a sensor node's communication range by up about 3 miters.

In view of the severe energy constraint in sensor networks, it is important to use the error control scheme of the energy efficiently. In this paper, we presented FEC (Forward Error Correcting) codes in terms of their power consumption. One method of FEC is RS (Reed-Solomon) coding, which uses block codes. RS codes work by adding extra redundancy to the data. The encoded data can be stored or transmitted. It could have errors introduced, when the encoded data is recovered. The added redundancy allows a decoder to detect which parts of the received data is corrupted, and corrects them. The number of errors which are able to be corrected by RS code can determine by added redundancy. We could predict the lifetime of RS codes which transmitted at 32 byte a 1 minutes. RS(15, 13), RS(31, 27), RS(63, 57), RS(127,115), and RS(255,239) can keep the days of 138, 132, 126, 111, and 103 respectively.

In this paper, the performance of Reed Solomon(RS)/convolution리 concatenated codes and turbo code using semi random interleaver over the radio communication channel was analyzed. In the result, we proved that the performance of decoder was excellent as increase the interleaver size, constraint length, and iteration number. When turbo code using semi random interleaver and Hsiconvolutional concatenated codes was constant constraint length L=5, BER=10-4 , each value of $E_b/N_o$ was 4.5〔dB〕 and 2.95〔dB〕. Therefore, when the constraint length was constant, we proved that the performance of turbo code is superior to RS/Convolutional concatenated codes about 1.55〔dB〕 in the case of BER=10-4.

(255,223) RS(Reed-Solomon) code which is the CCSDS(Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) standard was used in the STSAT-3 to correct errors during the downlink of payload data. The RS encoder developed by VHDL was implemented in MMU(Mass Memory Unit). Moreover, the RS decoder developed by C-language was implemented in the DRS(Data Receiving System) of ground station. In this paper, we reported the design and analysis results of RS(255,223) for STSAT-3. The BER(Bit Error Rate) performance from MMU to DRS was confirmed through the downlink test at 16 Mbps. Also, the error correction performance and capability of RS(255,223) was tested by the manual attenuation of the RF(Radio Frequency) signal in the X-band transmitter resulting in putting some errors in the communication line.

In this paper, the high-speed decoder for RS(Reed-Solomon) code, one of the most popular error correcting code, is implemented using VHDL. This RS decoder is designed in transform domain instead of most time domain. Because of the simplicity in structure, transform decoder can be easily realized VLSI chip. Additionally the pipeline architecture, which is similar to a systolic array is applied for all design. Therefore, This transform RS decoder is suitable for high-rate data transfer. After synthesis with FPGA technology, the decoding rate is more 43 Mbytes/s and the area is 1853 LCs(Logic Cells). To compare with other product with pipeline architecture, this result is admirable. Error correcting ability and pipeline performance is certified by computer simulation.

This paper proposes a novel low-cost and high-speed Reed-Solomon (RS) decoder based on a new degree computationless modified Euclid´s (DCME) algorithm. This architecture has quite low hardware complexity compared with conventional modified Euclid´s (ME) architectures, since it can remove completely the degree computation and comparison circuits. The architecture employing a systolic away requires only the latency of 2t clock cycles to solve the key equation without initial latency. In addition, the DCME architecture using 3t＋2 basic cells has regularity and scalability since it uses only one processing element. The RS decoder has been synthesized using the 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Faraday CMOS standard cell library and operates at 200MHz and its data rate suppots up to 1.6Gbps. For tile (255, 239, 8) RS code, the gate counts of the DCME architecture and the whole RS decoder excluding FIFO memory are only 21,760 and 42,213, respectively. The proposed RS decoder can reduce the total fate count at least 23% and the total latency at least 10% compared with conventional ME architectures.

A report of security problems and simultaneous operation limits of Standard tone currently used for FTS introduces the development of a next generation FTS. In this paper, BER performance by modulations and channel coding methods for EFTS are compared. Simulation results show that coherent modulations have better BER performance than noncoherent modulations. However the environments of a lunching vehicle may cause serious problems in achieving and maintaining synchronization and the increasing complexity of coherent systems also increases reliability problems. Therefore noncoherent systems are suitable for FTS even though BER performace of noncoherent systems is lower than coherent systems. Noncoherent DPSK has better BER performance than noncoherent CPFSK. However the PEP of noncoherent DPSK is 0.8dB higher than noncoherent CPFSK. Therefore a transmitter of noncoherent DPSK has more output power than noncoherent CPFSK. Convoltional code has better BER performance than RS code. However RS code has a tendency of steeply decreasing BER near the wanted $E_b/N_0$.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes receive signal to make error floor. In this paper, we propose the underwater communication system using various channel coding schemes such as RS coding, convolutional code, turbo code and concatenated code for overcoming the multipath effect in underwater channel. As shown in simulation results, characteristic of multipath error is similar to that of random error. So interleaver has not effect on error correcting. For correcting of error floor by multipath, it is necessary to use strong channel codes like turbo code. Turbo code is one of the iterative codes. And the performance of concatenated codes including RS code has better performance than using singular channel codes.
