Encode CCSDS-compliant RS codes

Since R2021a

    Description

    code = ccsdsRSEncode(msg,k) encodes the message in msg by using a (255, k) Reed-Solomon (RS) encoder, as defined in Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) 131.0-B-3 Section 4 [1]. k is the message length. code is in dual basis form, as the function assumes that the input to the CCSDS RS encoder is in dual basis form. For more details on dual basis representation, see CCSDS 131.0-B-3 Section 4.4.2 [1].

    For a description of CCSDS RS code construction, see CCSDS RS Code Construction.

    example

    code = ccsdsRSEncode(msg,k,i) specifies the interleaving depth, i. msg consists of i RS message symbols of length k.

    example

    code = ccsdsRSEncode(msg,k,i,s) encodes the shortened input message of length s with interleaving depth i.

    Examples

    Encode a message using a Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) Reed-Solomon (RS) encoder.

    Specify the message length, k, and the interleaving depth, i.

    k = 239;
    i = 3;

    Generate a column vector of random message symbols. The length of the message is product of message length, k, and interleaving depth, i.

    msg = randi([0 255],k*i,1);
    size(msg)
    ans = 1×2
    
       717     1
    
    

    Encode the message by using CCSDS RS encoder.

    code = ccsdsRSEncode(msg,k,i);

    Verify that the length of the encoded codeword is 255 times the value of the interleaving depth.

    Encode a message using a Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) Reed-Solomon (RS) encoder with message shortening.

    Specify the message length, k, interleaving depth, i, and the shortened message length, s.

    k = 223;
    i = 2;
    s = 146;

    Generate a column vector of random message bits. The length for the shortened message bits is eight times the product of shortened message length, s, and the interleaving depth, i.

    msg = logical(randi([0 1],s*i*8,1));

    Encode the shortened message by using a CCSDS RS encoder.

    code = ccsdsRSEncode(msg,k,i,s);

    Verify that the length of the encoded codeword is equal to (8*i*(255 – k + s).

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Input message, specified as a column vector of logical bits or a column vector of integers in the range [0, 255]. The size of the column vector depends on the data type of the input message.

    Input Message TypeSize of msg
    Data Type of msg Is logicalData Type of msg Is uint8 or double
    Full-length input message8*k k
    Interleaved input message8*k*i k*i
    Shortened input message8*s*i s*i

    Data Types: double | uint8 | logical

    Message length, specified as 223 or 239.

    Data Types: double

    Interleaving depth, specified as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 8. The default value, 1, corresponds to no interleaving.

    msg consists of i RS message symbols of length k.

    Data Types: double

    Shortened message length, specified as an integer in the range [1, k].

    Data Types: double

    Output Arguments

    collapse all

    CCSDS RS encoded message, returned as a column vector. The data type of code is same as that of the input message, msg. The size of the column vector depends on the data type of the input message.

    Full length input message8*255 255
    Interleaved input message8*255*i 255*i

    CCSDS RS Code Construction

    CCSDS RS codes are powerful burst error-correcting codes used as forward error-correcting (FEC) codes.

    The CCSDS RS encoder accepts full-length or shortened messages.

    Construction of Full-Length Message CCSDS RS Codes

    For full-length input messages the input column vector length is a product of the interleaving depth (i) and the message length (k).

    Full-length input message

    Encoding in CCSDS RS codes is done row-wise. The encoding results in an i-by-n vector that includes parity bits added to the end of each row. n is the codeword length, which is fixed to 255 symbols according to CCSDS 131.0-B-3 Section 4 [1].

    Encoded full-length input message

    Construction of Shortened Message CCSDS RS Codes

    For shortened input messages, the input column vector length is a product of the interleaving depth (i) and the shortened message length (s). The shortened message vector prepends padding the beginning of the message vector with zeros. The resulting vector is an i-by-k vector.

    Shortened input message

    Encoding in CCSDS RS codes is done row-wise. The encoding results in an i-by-n vector that includes parity bits added to the end of each row.
