ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who has been extremely helpful
and has been a great source of encouragement for us to take up this project.
First of all, we would like to express our deep gratitude to our principal Prof.
S. Balachandran for encouraging us to undertake this project.
We would also like to thank Prof. S. Vaidyanathan (Head of Department,
Electronics and Communication, SCTCE), Assistant Prof. K.J. Shanthi, (Electronics
and Communication) Senior Lecturer Deepa.A.K (Electronics and Communication) ,
Lecturer. Bindu.V (Electronics and Communication) and to all faculty members in
Electronics and Communication Department for providing guidance and help.
Last but not the least, we would also like to thank our classmates who have
provided us immense support and care.

 AIM

To evaluate the bit error rate (BER) in deep communications when concatenated
system of convolution code(CC),Reed Solomon (RS) & Luby Transform (LT) is used.

 ABSTRACT

For the problem of low code gain of the concatenation of Reed Solomon (RS) codes
and convolutional codes (CC), the concatenated scheme of RS+CC and Luby
Transform (LT) codes with an improved decoding algorithm is proposed. The
improved decoding algorithm for LT codes decreases the receiving buffer
consumption and improves the successful decoding probability and the real-time
property of LT codes at some low computational cost. Simulations and analyses are
made to evaluate the performance of the concatenated scheme in terms of the error
correction capacity and cost.
