Nowadays, in modern data transmission communication system forward error correction (FEC) codes are widely used for error detection and correction mechanisms. Linear Block codes such as Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH), Hamming, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), Reed-Solomon (RS) codes are used as FEC and calculate bit error rate of the system (BER). In this paper, we reviews and analysis the BER performance of these Linear Block codes at same block length of (255, 247) over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel using Binary Phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulation. In addition, while comparing BER performance, we selected lower SNR values from 0 to 9 and analyzed that BCH code gives slightly better results than RS, Hamming and CRC-16 codes. While selecting high SNR values from 0 to 18, the RS code gives better BER performance than BCH, Hamming and CRC-16 codes. The whole simulation process for coding and decoding of Linear Block codes in this paper work is performed using MATLAB software.
