Blind Recognition Algorithm of RS-SPC Concatenated Codes Based on Single-Error Correction

This letter presents an RS-SPC concatenated code blindrecognition algorithm based on the single-error correction. The algorithm corrects the least reliable bit of the single parity check (SPC) codewords based on the parity check characteristics, thereby increasing correct Reed-Solomon (RS) codewords and laying the foundation for improving the recognition probability. In addition, this algorithm combines threshold judgement with the matrix recording method, thereby eliminating unnecessary iterative operations under the condition that accurate recognition is possible. At the same time, it employs probability theory as a theoretical basis to quantify the degree of dispersion of the data through sample variance. The experimental results demonstrate that the recognition probability of this algorithm is superior to that of all other algorithms. When the codeword error rate (CER) is 0.5, RS(15,9)-SPC(4,3) still has a recognition probability of 20%. For RS(255,239)-SPC(8,7), the gain of the proposed algorithm exceeds 1.3dB compared to the upper bound of the recognition probability.
