Reed-Solomon (RS)

A block coding algorithm for forward error correction (FEC). Reed-Solomon

works by viewing the data as a polynomial, which it analyzes and organizes into symbols, which it groups into blocks, to each of which it adds parity bits to form codewords. For example, RS (255,223) is byte-oriented, working with 8-bit symbols. Each codeword contains 255 code word bytes comprising 223 data symbols and 32 parity symbols. See also algorithm, block, block code, byte, code, FEC, parity bit, and symbol.
