An Efficient Soft Decision Decoding Algorithm for Array Codes
Xiaohong Peng, Patrick Guy Farrell · 2005
A soft decision decoding algorithm for array codes, using less computation and, with better performance than a previous algorithm, is introduced. The new algorithm uses received symbol hard decision and confidence values to optimise which sub-codes are selected for full soft-minimum-distance decoding, and corrects more error patterns than the previous algorithm.
