Upon entering the atmosphere, these meteors quickly vaporize leaving behind a trail of ionized particles.
Meteor trails diffuse quickly, however, resulting in a rapid decay in signal strength.
Development of erasure generation techniques specifically designed for the meteor-burst communication channel. The goal is to erase the most unreliable symbols prior to decoding to improve performance. Optimization of interleaving strategies for meteor-burst systems. 625-628, June 1997, with C. S. Wilkins.
