In this paper we investigate the complexity of syndromeless decoding and compare it to that of syndrome-based decoding. Aiming to provide guidelines to practical applications our complexity analysis focuses on RS codes over characteristic-2 fields for which some multiplicative FFT techniques are not applicable. Due to moderate block lengths of RS codes in practice our analysis is complete without big O notation. In addition to fast implementation using additive FFT techniques we also consider direct implementation which is still relevant for RS codes with moderate lengths. For high-rate RS codes when compared to syndrome-based decoding algorithms not only syndromeless decoding algorithms require more field operations regardless of implementation but also decoder architectures based on their direct implementations have higher hardware costs and lower throughput. We also derive tighter bounds on the complexities of fast polynomial multiplications based on Cantor s approach and the fast extended Euclidean algorithm. Copyright 2008 N. Chen and Z. Yan.
