This thesis devoted to several efficient VLSI architecture design issues in errorcorrecting coding, including finite field arithmetic, (Generalized) Low-Density Parity- Check (LDPC) codes, and Reed-Solomon codes.-This thesis is devoted to sever

In this paper, we present two encoding methods for block-circulant LDPC codes. The first is an iterative encoding method based on the erasure decoding algorithm, and the computations required are well organized due to the blockcirculant struc
