Reed-Solomon Codes

13.1 Definition

Reed–Solomon or RS(n, k) codes are nonbinary cyclic codes composed of sequences of symbols of m-bits, where m > 2 is an integer, which exist for all n and k, 0 < k < n < 2^m + 2. In this notation, n is the total number of code symbols in an encoded block (usually called length), and k is the number of data symbols to be encoded. Generally, (n, k) = (2^m − 1, 2^m − 1 − 2t), where t is the (symbol) error correcting capability of the code. An extended RS code can have n = 2^m or n = 2^m + 1. Among all linear codes with the same encoding input and output block lengths, RS codes have the largest possible minimum distance. Similar to the Hamming distance, the distance between two codewords in a nonbinary code is defined ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
