Hardware Implementation of a Reed-Solomon decoder for Ultra-wideband Transceivers
Short-distance wireless communication by next generation consumer electronic devices will utilise ultra-wideband radio to achieve very high data transfer rates, long battery life and low production cost. A key element of such communication systems is forward error correction, which adds redundant information to message prior to transmission that can be used at the receiver to correct a limited number of errors introduced by noise or interference encountered during transmission.
Reed-Solomon is one coding method used in the WiMedia Alliance UWB specification and a hardware implementation of the codec was developed and tested, with consideration of constraints imposed by portable electronic devices.
