Abstract :
A computer investigation of error-control-coding techniques and bit error patterns recorded on an experimental Northern latitude meteor burst link is presented. Automatic repeat request (ARQ) and hybrid forward error correction (FEC) with ARC are examined from the standpoint of probability of message delivery and encountered message delivery delays. It is demonstrated that FEC will yield substantial improvement in the number of messages deliverable within a specified time constraint. Potential gains in extending the usable time duration of a meteor burst channel are on the order of factors of four with successful message delivery percentages increased by factors of 50
