Algebraic-geometric (AG) codes are a new paradigm in coding theory which promise performance improvements for point-to-point communications systems. AG codes offer several advantages over state-of-the-art Reed–Solomon (RS) codes. First, their construction is based on selecting points on a curve creating a non-binary code with long code length and effective decoding. The bit error rate (BER) performance of AG codes is impressive and attractive for wireless networks with severe fading conditions. Second, AG codes are more flexible than RS codes because they are easily extendable to high finite fields with minimal additional complexity. Third, the decoding approach gets all required information from the received data without the need for a decoding list. It is very attractive from the perspectives of both reliability and buffering capacity. Finally, construction of AG codes from curves offers an endless supply of …
