Reliability-Based Soft-Decision Decoding With Multiple Biases
Wenyi Jin, M.P.C. Fossorier · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2007
In this paper, a new reliability-based soft-decision decoding algorithm is presented. This algorithm repeatedly uses biased reliability values to construct the most-reliable-basis (MRB). As a result, this new method makes use of multiple information sets in a stochastic way. Compared to previously proposed competitive approaches, this new method produces a more efficient MRB reprocessing type algorithm to achieve near maximum-likelihood decoding (MLD) performance with a proper choice of the bias value. It can be combined with any MRB reprocessing type algorithm and in each case, a tight performance analysis can be derived
