There are a number of both type of codes. The almost de facto standard for block codes is Reed-Solomon (RS) developed by Irving S. Reed and Gustave Solomon in 1960.

In addition to communications, the KV algorithm could be used to improve the performance of CD players and the many computer hard drives that use Reed-Solomon encoding. It will be interesting to see ...

Reed-Solomon error correction has several applications in broadcasting, in particular forming part of the specification for the ETSI digital terrestrial television standard, known as DVB-T.

Reed-Solomon coding is a type of forward-error correction that is used in data-transmission (vulnerable to channel noise) plus data-storage and -retrieval systems.

The most famous examples of locally correctable codes are versions of a venerable error-correcting code invented in 1954 by the mathematicians David Muller and Irving Reed (who also helped develop ...

The redundant information, in the form of extra bases placed over 4,991 short sequences according to the Reed-Solomon algorithm, provided the basis for error-correction when the DNA was read and ...

Backblaze has open-sourced a key component of its Backblaze Vault file system design: The Reed-Solomon implementation (done, in this case, in Java).

Reed-Solomon codes are very effective as long as the duration of burst errors is relatively short (less than eight or 10 bytes long in the case of MPEG). If, however, longer burst errors must be ...

The article, by Ralf Koetter, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and Alexander Vardy, a professor at the University of California, San Diego was titled, "Algebraic ...
