Fast Forward Error Correction Codes

Erroc Correction Codes are essential for preserving data integrity in communications. These algorithms find errors due to noise in transmissions and correct these errors with a high probability. Several algorithms are used, with different capacities in term of correction and most of them are implemented in cell phones or satellites as ASICS. The need to handle many different usages, different contexts of use pushes towards software solutions. A larger spectrum of algorithms can be explored, in order to meet the expectations in terms of performance, power consumption and error correcting power. These new algorithms, for the 5G for instance, can then be either implemented in software (for large antenna for instance) or in hardware. In both case, software simulation is necessary in order to evaluate the properties of the new algorithms. We developped in collaboration with IMS new versions of algorithms and a new software, AFF3CT http://aff3ct.github.io/index.html, that allows the exploration of many different algorithmic variants and their evaluation. Two conference papers have been published on these new results [7][6].
