Abstract
A method and apparatus which corrects errors in a receive vector and a receiver. An essentially conventional method and apparatus are used to produce a polynomial representation of the receive vector, syndromes associated with the receive vector, and a Galios Field table. An inventive method and apparatus is used to generate an error location polynomial table and thus an error location polynomial which can then be used to locate and correct a maximum number of errors in the receive vector. The inventive method includes comparing previously generated entities in an error location polynomial table to one another to determine which of the previously generated entries should be used in generating a next entry to the error location polynomial table.
