Study of performance comparison of satellite error correction codes for correcting big burst data errors

Big burst errors often occur in satellite communications, leading to multiple consecutive bit errors. In the paper, we make a comparison among the CCSDS codes, such as RS codes, convolutional codes, Turbo codes and LDPC codes. In addition, the performance analysis of correcting big burst errors of these codes is conducted. The experimental results show that the burst error correction performance of RS codes is the best under CCSDS standard.
