ReedSolomonin
ReedSolomonin refers to Reed-Solomon codes, a family of error-correcting codes introduced in 1960 by Irving S. Reed and Gustave Solomon. These are block codes that operate on symbols drawn from a finite field and are capable of correcting multiple symbol errors within each codeword. They are widely used in data storage and transmission because they can recover data even when part of a codeword is damaged.
An RS code is described as RS(n, k) over a field GF(2^m), with n ≤ 2^m − 1. Each
Encoding uses a generator polynomial whose roots are consecutive powers of a primitive element of the field.
Reed-Solomon codes are standard in CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, QR codes, and many data transmission standards. They
