1) Consider the Galois field GF ( 2 ) generated by the polynomial p ( x) = x 4 + x + 1 .
a) Find the generating polynomial of (15, 13) RS code over this field (5 Marks).
b) What is the error correcting capability of this code? Erasure correcting
capability? (1 Mark)
c) Encode the sequence u ( x) = x 3 in a systematic form. (3 Marks)
d) Decode the received sequence r ( x) = e1 x + e2 x 3 where e1 and e 2 are erased
symbols (3 Marks).
