Reed Solomon decoder

Hi there!
I suppose to implement a Reed Solomon decoder for Inmarsat video
receiver, but I know very little about its specification.
unfortunately I couldn't find any useful information on the net about
FEC used in Inmarsat.
I know the following information about this RS :
- it is over GF(32) by primitive polynomial p(x) = x^5+x^2+1 = 37
- Data length is 15 and parity length is 16, so having RS(31,15, 37)

but the major problem is that I don't know it's generator polynomial
g(x). using default Matlab RS encoder, I found that Matlab uses g(x)
=
(x+a^1)(x+a^2)...(x+a^16) as generator polynomial for rs(31,15). but
I'm not sure it's the same as g(x) which used in Inmarsat standard.
any comment and remark is appreciated

This is off topic in this newsgroup, which deals with the C
programming language. Ask these question somewhere else (maybe
sci.crypt?), and come back here once you know what to do, if you
have problems implementing it.

No shit? You actually had to post this drivel, didn't you?

This has nothing to do with the C language, and is off-topic here
on c.l.c. Try comp.programming. F'ups set.
