Reed-Solomon coding and decoding by Phil Karn

/* * Reed-Solomon coding and decoding * Phil Karn (karn at ka9q.ampr.org) September 1996 * * This file is derived from the program "new_rs_erasures.c" by Robert * Morelos-Zaragoza (robert at spectra.eng.hawaii.edu) and Hari Thirumoorthy * (harit at spectra.eng.hawaii.edu), Aug 1995 * * I've made changes to improve performance, clean up the code and make it * easier to follow. Data is now passed to the encoding and decoding functions * through arguments rather than in global arrays. The decode function returns * the number of corrected symbols, or -1 if the word is uncorrectable. * * This code supports a symbol size from 2 bits up to 16 bits, * implying a block size of 3 2-bit symbols (6 bits) up to 65535 * 16-bit symbols (1,048,560 bits). The code parameters are set in rs.h. * * Note that if symbols larger than 8 bits are used, the type of each * data array element switches from unsigned char to unsigned int. The * caller must ensure that elements larger than the symbol range are * not passed to the encoder or decoder. * */ #include <stdio.h> #include "rs.h" #if (KK >= NN) #error "KK must be less than 2**MM - 1" #endif /* This defines the type used to store an element of the Galois Field * used by the code.

Then in GF(2^m), for any 0 <= i <= 2^m-2, @^i = a(0) + a(1) @ + a(2) @^2 + ... + a(m-1) @^(m-1) where the binary vector (a(0),a(1),a(2),...,a(m-1)) is the representation of the integer "alpha_to[i]" with a(0) being the LSB and a(m-1) the MSB. Thus for example the polynomial representation of @^5 would be given by the binary representation of the integer "alpha_to[5]". Similarily, index_of[] can be used as follows: As above, let @ represent the primitive element of GF(2^m) that is the root of the primitive polynomial p(x). In order to find the power of @ (alpha) that has the polynomial representation a(0) + a(1) @ + a(2) @^2 + ... + a(m-1) @^(m-1) we consider the integer "i" whose binary representation with a(0) being LSB and a(m-1) MSB is (a(0),a(1),...,a(m-1)) and locate the entry "index_of[i]". Now, @^index_of[i] is that element whose polynomial representation is (a(0),a(1),a(2),...,a(m-1)). NOTE: The element alpha_to[2^m-1] = 0 always signifying that the representation of "@^infinity" = 0 is (0,0,0,...,0). Similarily, the element index_of[0] = A0 always signifying that the power of alpha which has the polynomial representation (0,0,...,0) is "infinity". */ void generate_gf(void) { register int i, mask; mask = 1; Alpha_to[MM] = 0; for (i = 0; i < MM; i++) { Alpha_to[i] = mask; Index_of[Alpha_to[i]] = i; /* If Pp[i] == 1 then, term @^i occurs in poly-repr of @^MM */ if (Pp[i] != 0) Alpha_to[MM] ^= mask; /* Bit-wise EXOR operation */ mask <<= 1; /* single left-shift */ } Index_of[Alpha_to[MM]] = MM; /* * Have obtained poly-repr of @^MM.
