| Abstract | Wireless teclmology has become very popular and has undergone an explosive growth in the last several years. This growth is mostly due to standardization, improved data rates, improved ease of use, as well as a sharp decline in prices. The wireless revolution has created new businesses, business models, and arguably, for some, a better quality of life. However, the transmission data on the wireless is easily contaminated by the noise, especially, the multipath fading, caused by errors. Thus, the selection of encoder for error control and cotTection suitable is very important for the transmission quality of service. In this research, Reed Solomon and Convolutional code are concatenated for considering the improvement of error correction based on the investigation in term of bit error rate (BER) against signal to noise ratio (Eb/No). This proposed system is applied on the WLAN IEEE 802.11 a over A WGN and Rayleigh fading channel. Furthermore, it is compared to the systems based on Reed Solomon code and Convolutional code alone, based on WLAN IEEE 802.1 la standard. The simulation results show that the performance of concatenated Reed Solomon and Convolutional code can improve significantly. From the results it is found that the system achieves 0.9 - 1.8 dB gain over non-concatenated Convolutional code case at BER perform of 10-4 over A WGN and Rayleigh fading chaimel. Thus, concatenated Reed Solomon and Convolutional code model is used very popular and applied in many practical applications nowadays. |
