New version - FprEN 50159 • Mergingtwo parts of the former standard (for open and close transmission systems) • Modifications of the standard • Common terminology • Classification of transmission systemsthree categories of transmission systems are defined • More precise requirements for safety codesstandard recommends BSC and QSC model
Non-binary linear codes • T: finite field with q elements (code alphabet). • q-nary linear (n,k)-code: k-dimensional linear subspace C of the space Tn • codewords: elements of C. • Usually T=GF(2m). In this case every symbol from GF(2m) can be substituted by its linear expansion and given 2m-nary (n,k)-code can be analysed as a binary (nm,km)-code. • most popular non-binary codes: Reed-Solomon (RS) codes
Undetected Errors • Structure of undetected errors • all undetected errors of a linear (n,k)-code = all nonzero codewords of the code • Probability of an undetected error Ai: number of codewords with exactly i nonzero symbols Pi: probability that there are exactly i wrong symbols in the word.
Binary Symmetrical Channel (BSC) • BSC: model based on the bit (binary symbol) transmission • The probability pe that the bit changes its value during the transmission (bit error rate) is the same for both possibilities (0→1, 1→0).
Q-nary Symmetrical Channel (QSC) QSC: model based on the q- symbols transmission e: probability that a symbol changes value during the transmission
Undetected Errors Probability (BSC/QSC) BSC model – Pud(1/2) QSC model – Pud((q-1)/q)
Good and proper codes • ”good” q-nary linear (n,k)-code:inequality Pud(e) < qk-n is valid for every e [0,(q-1)/q]. • ”proper” q-nary linear (n,k)-code:function Pud(e) is monotone fore [0,(q-1)/q]. • Unfortunately goodness and properness are relatively rare conditions. • example: perfect codes, MDS codes
Example Objective: to show how different results is possible to get in QSC and BSC models Example: RS code on GF(256) with generator polynomial: g(x)=x4+54x3+143x2+x+214. RS codes are Maximum Distance Separable codes (MDS)=> they are ”proper” in the QSC model.

Conclusions • The analysis of the probability Pud in the BSC model cannot be replaced by the analysis in the QSC model. • The QSC model could be a suitable alternative when a character oriented transmission is used. • The QSC and BSC models of a communication channel are rather abstract criteria of the linear code structure than the mathematical models, which could describe a real transmission system. • For the code over the GF(2m), it is possible to use the both models. • Without an a priori information about the transmission channel there is no reason to prefer any one from these models.
