Eman Mohammed Mahmoud, Abdelhalim Zekry, Ahmed Abd El Hafez, Talaat A. Elgarf . Enhancing Channel Coding using AES Block Cipher. International Journal of Computer Applications. 61, 6 ( January 2013), 28-33. DOI=10.5120/9933-4568
A key benefit of channel coding is the ability to protect data against channel impairments. Essentially, the channel coder adds redundancy bits that provide a way to correct corrupted data. Encryption is another way of protecting data against channel impairments and unintended interception or forging. This paper introduces an efficient approach of increasing coding gain at the receiver end. The implemented approach uses the advanced encryption standard (AES) cryptographic algorithm as a primary part of channel coding process. The simulation result of this implemented approach is evaluated in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN).
