Abstract
The invention relates to an error-correction method for use in a process of decoding cross-interleaved Reed-Solomon code (CIRC) that corrects errors in data stored as C code words and C code words in a memory with several locations, each of said locations containing a data byte of said data, and an apparatus performing said method. The new method implies specific regulations for defining which data words are to be used for C and C decoding and for the processing order. The system memory for a deinterleaver implementation can be of a smaller size as compared to conventional memories. In addition, only a single CIRC decoder needs to be used for performing the process of decoding cross-interleaved Reed-Solomon code.
