Abstract

Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghen (BCH) error-correcting codes are now widely used in communication system and digital technology. The direct linear feedback shifted register (LFSR)-based encoding of a long BCH code suffers from the large fan-out effect of some XOR gates. This makes the LFSR-based encoders of long BCH codes not keep up with the data transmission speed in some applications. The technique for eliminating the large fan-out effect by J-unfolding method and some algebraic manipulation has been proposed. In this brief, we present a Chinese remainder theorem (CRT)-based parallel architecture for long BCH encoding. Our novel technique can be used to eliminate the fan-out bottleneck. The only restriction on the speed of long BCH encoding of our CRT-based architecture is log2 N, where N is the length of the BCH code.
