REED SOLOMON CODES FOR RELIABLE COMMUNICATION IN INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)
In the networking field, Internet of Things ( IOT, shortly) is the current state
of the art in the nowadays Information of Technology era. The networking may
be defined as external network or internal network. The backbone of the IOT
is the internet connections. The IOT connects various objects together to the
internet so that they can communicate and exchange billions of data and
information among various devices and services. They may be remotely
controlled from distant area. As IOT systems will be open and available
everywhere, a number of security issue may arise. One issue that remains open
in the IOT technology is security and privacy issues. Because of this security
issue, the communications among many different devices powered by IOT
could not be said as a reliable technology.
Because of this, the security of the IOT systems can be enhanced by adding
error correction scheme both in communication channel as well as the data
store. By introducing the error correction scheme, the risks may be reduced to
acceptable level and the security could be enhanced. A Reed-Solomon (RS)
code is one of many error control coding schemes that firstly introduced by
Reed and Solomon in 1960. This code has been used in various applications,
such as CD-ROMs, space communications, DVD technology, digital TV and
much more.
Here, Reed-Solomon code is discussed in detail. It raised the issue of RS
decoding scheme using the Welch Berlekamp algorithm. It presents the
implementation of the Welch Berlekamp algorithm for RS decoder in detail.
The VHDL implementation VHDL for Hard Decision Decoding using the
Welch Berlekamp algorithm is also presented. Without loss of generality, th
