Faster and more efficient codes can be used to implement IDA, but they are not currently implemented in hardware. The IDA can be used to design bandwidth-efficient FECC for a channel with burst noise. Our research presents the analysis, design, implementation, and testing of IDA. The IDA has been implemented in software using the RS codes. We compared its performance with that of TPC. Assuming a well-defined channel with long burst noise (i.e., many bit errors) and a large block size, we showed that if symbol-by-symbol reliability is not available (i.e., unable to detect burst noise boundaries), then IDA will perform better than TPC in terms of bit and block error rates. However, if symbol-by-symbol reliability is available, then IDA may perform as well as TPC in terms of block error rate, while TPC will always have a lower bit error rate.
