Detect failure in Berlekamp algorithm

Aug 22, 2006 0 Replies

Hi all,



I have implanted a complete Reed Solomon decoder.



I used the Berlekamp-Massey algorithm but I don't know how to detect a failure e.g. e>t e : error and t is the capacity of correction



I have t+1 values of the error locator polynomial (elp) so his degree is t



But if I have t+1 errors, the degree of the elp is t+1 so t+2 values but I have only t+1 blocks to compute the elp !!!



How to do to detect failure ?



Thanks
