The method used in wireless systems to reduce the effects of burst errors is **Interleaving**.

Interleaving rearranges the order of data bits before transmission, so that if a burst error occurs, it affects bits that are spaced out rather than contiguous. This allows error correction codes to effectively recover the original data.

While Reed-Solomon codes are also effective in handling burst errors, interleaving specifically focuses on spreading the data to minimize the impact of such errors in the first place.
