Abstract
In some networks, data packets either arrive without any bit errors, or one or more packets are lost, with packet switched networks as one of the most evident examples. With real-time data, the delay introduced while recovering from these losses can have a great influence on the quality of service of the application. The paper introduces a decoding algorithm that can recover from bursts of erasures by utilizing cyclic Reed-Solomon codes.
