Communications Blockset

Block Coding Features of the Blockset

The class of block coding techniques includes categories shown in the diagram below.

The Communications Blockset supports general linear block codes. It also includes blocks that process cyclic, BCH, Hamming, and Reed-Solomon codes (which are all special kinds of linear block codes). Blocks in the blockset can encode or decode a message using one of the techniques mentioned above. The Reed-Solomon and BCH decoders indicate how many errors they detected while decoding. The Reed-Solomon coding blocks also let you decide whether to use symbols or bits as your data.

Note    The blocks in this blockset are designed for error-control codes that use an alphabet having 2 or 2m symbols.
