Abstract

We consider staircase codes, a class of high performance forward-error-correction codes for high-rate transmission, on channels with burst errors. Staircase codes with Reed-Solomon component codes and the baseline staircase code with binary Bose-Chaudhuri-Hochquenghem (BCH) component codes using block interleaving are implemented to combat burst errors. They are tested on burst-error channels with different burst lengths and bit-error probabilities. For both types of component codes, the software complexities and decoding latencies are compared to investigate, which codes have major impact on the decoding time of the staircase codes.
