Reed-Solomon Decoding (Not for Digital Television)

[pwhines2]

Hello all,

 

My question is fairly simple, how would I perform Reed-Solomon error correction after demodulating my incoming signal?  I see there are a few uses of RS decoding for digital television, but my signal is just bursts of data and has nothing to do with television.  From what I’ve gathered I think I need to use the FEC Decoder block and somehow tell it to use RS decoding, but I’m not 100% sure.  I would preferably like to use blocks that come with gnuradio for this, but if that’s not possible then I’ll settle for whatever solution is available.

The end of my flowgraph is Binary Slicer > Pack K Bits > File Sink, and I would imagine the FEC would go after the binary slicer.  The packets I’m demodulating now are correct, however there are some errors in the packets while the bursts are demodulated (which is why I need FEC).  Anyone know how I would go about doing this?

 

Thanks,

Patrick
