ReedSolomon

public ReedSolomon(int nroots,
 int symsize,
 int fcr,
 int prim,
 int gfpoly,
 int pad)

Constructs a new encoder/decoder.

Parameters:

nroots - the number of roots in the Reed Solomon code generator polynomial. This equals the number of parity symbols per code block.

symsize - the symbol size in bits, up to 8

fcr - in index form, the first consecutive root of the Reed Solomon code generator polynomial.

prim - in index form, the primitive element in the Galois field used to generate the Reed Solomon code generator polynomial.

gfpoly - the extended Galois field generator polynomial coefficients, with the 0th coefficient in the low order bit. The polynomial must be primitive; if not, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

pad - the number of leading symbols in the codeword that are implicitly padded to zero in a shortened code block

Method Details

encode

public void encode(byte[] data,
 byte[] parity)

decode

public int decode(byte[] data,
 int[] eras_pos)
           throws ReedSolomonException

Corrects in place data and returns the number of error corrected.

Parameters:

data - - data to be corrected

eras_pos - - erasures positions (can be null)

Returns:

Throws:

ReedSolomonException - - thrown if the data cannot be corrected

nroots

public int nroots()
