Abstract
When employing Gray-coded 8-PSK, 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), or 64-QAM channel symbols, on channels with low noise levels, a performance increase in a Reed Solomon (RS) code can be achieved by mapping the bits from each Gray-coded channel symbol into separate RS symbols. From the simulations performed, RS codes appear to be the codes of choice for bursty-error channels where a code rate greater than or equal to 1/2 may be successfully utilized, and a bit error rate (BER) of below 10 is required. However, the convolutional code offers the best overall performance for a wide range of conditions.
