Description
Summary:This project covers the research about the BCH error correcting codes and the performance of interleaved and non-interleaved BCH codes. Both long and short BCH codes for multimedia communication are examined in an A WGN channel. Algorithm for simulating the BCH codes was also being investigated, which includes generating the parity check matrix, generating the message code in Galois array matrix, encoding the message blocks, modulation and decoding the message blocks. Algorithm for interleaving that includes interleaving message, including burst errors and deinterleaving message is combined with the BCH codes algorithm for simulating the interleaved BCH codes. The performance and feasibility of the coding structure are tested. The performance comparison between interleaved and noninterleaved BCH codes is studied in terms of error performance, channel performance and effect of data rates on the bit error rate (BER). The Berlekamp-Massey Algorithm decoding scheme was implemented. Random integers are generated and encoded with BCH encoder. Burst errors are added before the message is interleaved, then enter modulation and channel simulation. Interleaved message is then compared with noninterleaved message and the error statistics are compared. Initially, certain amount of burst errors is used. "ft is found that the graph does not agree with the theoretical bit error rate (BER) versus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). When compared between each BCH codeword (i.e. n = 31, n = 63 and n = 127), n = 31 shows the highest BER while n = 127 shows the lowest BER. This happened because of the occurrence of error bursts and also due to error frequency. A reduced size or errors from previous is used in the algorithm. A graph similar to the theoretical BER vs SNR is obtained for both interleaved and non-interleaved BCH codes. It is found that BER of non-interleaved is higher than interleaved BCH codes as SNR increases. These observations show that size of errors influence the effect of interleaving. Simulation time is also studied in terms of block length. It is found that interleaved BCH codes consume longer simulation time compared to non-interleaved BCH codes due to additional algorithm for the interleaved BCH codes.
