OpenFEC.org: because open, free AL-FEC codes and codecs matter

Participants : Vincent Roca [correspondant] , Jonathan Detchart [engineer] , Ferdaouss Mattoussi [PhD student] .

The goals of the OpenFEC.org http://openfec.org are:

to share IPR-free, open, AL-FEC codes, to share high performance, ready-to-use, open, free, C-language, software codecs and to share versatile and automated performance evaluation environments.

This project can be useful to users who do not want to know the details of AL-FEC schemes but do need to use one of them in the software they are designing, or by users who want to test new codes or new encoding or decoding techniques, and who do know what they are doing and are looking for, or by users who need to do extensive tests for certain AL-FEC schemes in a given use-case, with a well defined channel model.
