Therefore, wireless infrared is applied for higher data rates applications such as wireless computing, wireless video and wireless multimedia communication applications. Introduced by Gfeller, this field has grown with various link configurations, improved transmitter efficiency, improved receiver responsivity and various multiple access techniques for improved quality. Then major contribution of noise in these systems is background light, which reduces system performance. The system error can be reduced by introduction of some error removal techniques. This paper provides a brief account on field theory used for error correction in wireless infrared systems. The results are produced in terms of bit error rate (BER) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) for various bit length to show the ability of encoding and decoding algorithms. © 2014 IEEE. %Z cited By 1; Conference of 2014 5th International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems, ICIAS 2014 ; Conference Date: 3 June 2014 Through 5 June 2014; Conference Code:107042
