nNear
Shannon-limit performance is possible with turbo
codes, making them suitable for non-real time applications.
nSpace-time
codes gave strong error correcting capabilities for fading channels.
nNASA
Voyager mission transmission of 2 Mbps data rates at
Eb/N0=2.53 dB
uses a concatenation of a rate 1/2 K=7 convolutional encoder
inner code and a (255, 233) RS outer code with BER=10-6.
nA 48
Mbps satellite TDMA system with BER around 10-11 using a (204, 192) RS code was
described by Berlekamp et al.
