IP generator of Reed Solomon codecs

This paper shows a novel concept of the Reed Solomon (RS) codec IP generator for produce ten kinds of RS codec including RS(28,24), RS(32,28), RS(36,22), RS(72,64), RS(182,172), RS(204,188), RS(207,187), RS(208,192) [1], RS(255,223) [2] and RS(255,239) for targeting various communication standards and systems which use Reed Solomon (RS) codes. The RS codec IP generator will perform the hardware design and implementation from these ten kinds of RS codec based on the parameters n, k and t of RS codes. The hardware design and implementation should be achieved high throughput, high efficiency or low power because the proposed RS codec IP generator has novel design rules to generate the corresponding design and implementation according to users´ requirements such as the limitation of power consumption, the limitation of gate count, the limitation of clock rate, and/or the desired throughput.
