Channel coding with the (255,255-2T) Reed-Solomon codes over CF(256)

The class of (255, 255-2T) Reed-Solomon codes over CF(256) is studied in detail. In particular the encoding and decoding algorithms are elaborated. Main computational elements are the discrete Fourier transform for syndrome and error locator computation, Euclid's algorithm for solving the key equation and Horner's scheme for determining the...
