Abstract :
The problem of increasing the probability of successfully transmitting a data packet during a meteor burst is considered. It is shown how the ordering of redundant information can be chosen to increase success probability. Two simple rate 1/2 coding schemes amenable to soft decision decoding are introduced. It is found that these codes provide considerable additional improvement in the probability of successful transmission. One of the codes achieves significantly better performance than a hard decision (31, 15) Reed-Solomon code proposed previously
