Parameters specific to the Xilinx Puncture block are:
∙Puncture Code: specifies the puncture pattern for removing the bits from the input.
Other parameters used by this block are described in the Common Parameters section of the previous chapter.
The Puncture block does not use a Xilinx LogiCORE.

data symbols. See the RS Encoder block documentation for more details. A Reed- Solomon decoder can correct up to t symbols that contain errors in a codeword, where 2t =
The RS decoder can correct up to t errors or up to 2t erasures. An erasure occurs when the position of an erred symbol is known. Erasure information is generally supplied by the demodulator in a digital communication system, i.e. the demodulator flags received symbols that are likely to contain errors. When a codeword is decoded, there are three possible outcomes:
1.If 2p + r < 2t (p errors, r erasures) the original transmitted code word will always be recovered
2.The decoder will detect that it cannot recover the original code word and will indicate a failure in decoding.
3.The decoder will
