Channel coding methods broadly fall under two classes: block codes and convolutional codes. Block codes work on a block of data/bits with fixed size and apply the manipulation to this block at the ...

Ironically, product codes had been discussed nearly 40 years earlier . In the general sense, turbo-product, or block-turbo, codes are composed of a multidimensional array of block codes, such as ...

You can implement FEC techniques for linear block codes (Reed-Solomon codecs) and convolutional codes (Viterbi codecs). To understand this general implementation, look at the hardware behind these ...
