Abstract

An investigation of error control coding techniques on an experimental northern latitude meteor burst link is presented. Bit error patterns were obtained and the performance of automatic repeat request (ARQ) and hybrid forward error correction (FEC) with ARQ was examined from the standpoint of probability of message delivery and encountered delays with respect to the message delivery. It is demonstrated that FEC will yield orders of magnitude of improvement in the delivery of messages within a maximum time constraint. The potential gains in extending the usable time duration of a meteor burst channel are on the order of factors of four with successful delivery percentages increased by factors of 50.<>
