Abstract

This paper presents several concatenated coding scheme for high-speed satellite communications. The NASA Standard (255, 223) Reed-Solomon (RS) code over GF(2⁸) is used as the outer code and a Reed-Muller (RM) code is used as the inner code. A simple trellis diagram with parallel structure for the RM code is devised. This concatenated scheme achieves high-performance with high decoding speed and low complexity
