Abstract:
Embodiments relate to the emulation of the effect of Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes, e.g., GF 10  Reed Solomon (RS) FEC codes, on the bit error ratio (BER) of received Pseudo-Random Binary Sequences (PRBS) patterns. In particular, embodiments group errors into RS-FEC symbols and codewords in order to determine if the errors are correctable. By emulating the error correction capabilities of FEC codes in order to determine which errors are correctable by the code, embodiments afford a more accurate representation of the post-FEC BER of RS FEC codes from links carrying PRBS patterns. This FEC code emulation provides error correction statistics, for stand-alone use or for error correction in connection with Bit Error Rate Testers (BERTs).

Claim (Index 3):
The system of  claim 2  further comprising:\n dividing the symbols into a plurality of blocks; and \n interleaving the plurality of blocks.
