Performance analysis of concatenated convolutional and Reed Solomon coding with interleaving in optical communication channels

Abstract

For reliable and error free transmission of data in communication systems we require a system employing forward error correction schemes. This paper analyze the performance comparison of Convolution code, Reed-Solomon code as well as concatenation of Convolution code and Reed-Solomon code over optical communication links with interleaving in terms of their probability of Bit error rate and signal to noise ratio with different code rate and identify with code rate will give best performance. © 2015 IEEE.
