Effectiveness Analysis of Modern Error-Control Codes

The article focuses on the process simulation results of error control coding in digital communication systems of Simulink. The following algorithms are used during error control coding: Reed-Muller codes, Reed-Solomon codes, overprecision code and turbo-code. Comparative analysis of these codes by effectiveness is provided for using them in a channel with additive Gaussian white noise. In order to estimate the various codes effectiveness the author derives the following dependences: Bit Error Rate (BER) vs ratio of one bit energy to a spectral power density of noise (E_b/N₀); Packet Error Rate (PER) vs E_b/N₀; length distribution of error set vs Eb/N0; estimation of mathematical expectation for error set length vs E_b/N₀.
