libcorrect
A BSD-licensed C library for Forward Error Correction using Convolutional codes and Reed-Solomon algorithms.
What is libcorrect?
libcorrect is a C library that implements Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithms, specifically Convolutional codes and Reed-Solomon, to add redundancy to data packets for reliable transmission over noisy channels. It solves the problem of data loss or corruption during communication by enabling recovery of original data through decoding, using a Viterbi algorithm for convolutional codes.
Developers and engineers working on telecommunications, embedded systems, data transmission protocols, or any application requiring robust error correction over lossy channels, especially those concerned with BSD licensing for mobile or proprietary use.
Developers choose libcorrect for its BSD license (avoiding LGPL uncertainties), performance optimizations with SSE, compatibility with libfec as a drop-in replacement, and educational tools that make it easier to understand and experiment with error correction algorithms.
