Abstract

Multiple error-correcting Reed-Solomon (RS) codes have many practical applications. The complexity of an RS encoder depends on multiplications in the finite field over which the code is defined. In this article, we consider a triangular basis for representing the field elements, and present architecture for a rate-adaptive RS encoder using a triangular basis multiplication algorithm. The architecture supports pipeline and bit-serial operations, and has a low circuit complexity.
