Can anyone please help me with the comparison between the error
correction codes BCH and Reed Solomon.

I know basic differences like
RS codes provide robust error correction ability but they require
large amount of system resources. On the other hand encoding and
decoding technique are simpler in BCH codes, etc.

I went through several articles but i couldn't reach any conclusion.

Is the error correcting capability of BCH codes same as RS codes?

Please help...thanks in advance

May be this doc can help you: http://www.spansion.com/application_notes/Types_of_ECC_Used_on_Flash_AN_01_e.pdf Simple Hamming codes can only correct single bit errors. Reed-Solomon code can correct more errors and is used on many of the current controllers. BCH (Bose, Ray-Chaudhuri, Hocquenghem) codes can also correct multiple bit errors and are becoming popular because of their improved efficiency over Reed-Solomon. jiwaniaziz at gmail.com escreveu:

Well they are a lot different, based on same mathematical background Abstract Algebra, but completely different, BCH are for binary streams, while RS is used mainly for galois field streams, the math, background is the same, but RS you have 4 or 5 equations sets to decode something while the BCH .... too, but the set of equations are different, that is the main difference, anyway look my paper of IEEE of a RS implementation for aerospacial systems, search on IEEExplore.

Hi, I have gone through the spansion article you have mentioned long back. It gives the overview of RS and BCH codes. I have read in several articles that RS codes are most efficient for burst errors while BCH are efficient for random errors. And i remember reading somewhere that two algorithms are required in BCH codes if you want to correct both burst and random errors, so is it true? And what are those algorithms? ----- Original Message ----- From: Jardel Silveirajardel at l...> To: Date: Tue Aug 26 19:48:27 CEST 2008 Subject: [oc] comparison between BCH and Reed Solomon codes

Simple Hamming codes can only correct single bit errors.
Reed-Solomon
code can correct more errors and is used on many of
the current controllers. BCH (Bose, Ray-Chaudhuri, Hocquenghem)
codes
can also correct multiple bit errors
and are becoming popular because of their improved efficiency over
Reed-Solomon.

Dear, IN fact, I don´t know very about these codes. As I´ve understood from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCH_code), reed solomon is particular case of BCH: "A narrow-sense BCH code with /n/ = /q/ − 1 is called a /Reed-Solomon code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed-Solomon_code>/."
