Wireless Transmission Algorithm Error Correction AlgorithmError Correction Algorithm –Forward Error Correction (FEC) sender adds redundant data to its messagessender adds redundant data to its messages allows receiver to detect errorsallows receiver to detect errors Reed Solomon CodeReed Solomon Code –Key idea: data is encoded as a polynomialdata is encoded as a polynomial any k distinct points uniquely determine a polynomial of degree at most k-1any k distinct points uniquely determine a polynomial of degree at most k-1 –Polynomial is then “encoded” by its evaluation at various points, and these values are what is actually sent –Transmission: some of these values may become corrupted –More than k points are actually sent –Receiver decodes the original data –Total number of m-bit symbols in the encoded block is n = 2 m - 1 Example: m = 8, Code Rate 223/255Example: m = 8, Code Rate 223/255 –(In each block 223 symbols are formed from the encoder input and 32 parity symbols are added.) –Capable of correcting up to 16 symbols per block

Equalization Use FFT to convert audio signal into frequency spectrum Add desired effects as required by the user Take IFFT of resulting signal Transmit processed audio to AC-97 output line
