Abstract

A concatenated coding scheme consisting of an inner (7, 1/2) convolutional code and an outer (255, 223) Reed-Solomon code has been recommended by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems for cross-supported space missions. The Reed-Solomon code that was chosen makes use of the Berlekamp encoding algorithm. This report examines some peculiarities of this code that could give rise to synchronization problems. Suggestions are given to alleviate these problems.
