Title : Systematic Rate-independent Reed-Solomon (SR-RS) Erasure Correction Scheme Author(s) : BZ(Bazhong) Shen Erik Stauffer Kamlesh Rath Filename : draft-shen-rmt-bb-fec-srrscode-01.txt Pages : 18 Date : 2012-11-16 Abstract: This document specifies a systematic rate-independent Reed-Solomon (SR-RS) Erasure correction scheme. The two properties, systematic and rate-independent, are fulfilled by Lagrange polynomial interpolation. When the number of output symbols is fixed this scheme essentially generates a Reed-Solomon (RS) code. Therefore, based on the MDS (maximum distance separable) property of RS code, this erasure correction scheme is optimal (ideal). Also in this document, a two-step fast recovering (decoding) algorithm using fast Walsh-Hadamard transform is presented for the proposed erasure correction scheme. This algorithm achieves the time complexity O(n*log2(n)), or linear if penalization implementation, such as multi-core processor, is allowed. Contents 1.
