The most popular decoder for product codes is an iterative decoder. It has low complexity and can correct many errors in average case, but it also has an uncorrectable errors of weight equal to one quoter code distance. To overcome this limitation we propose a new decoder algorithm, that utilizes iterative decoder, but has better error correction efficiency at low error rates. Thecomputer simulation showed that the increase in error correction efficiency is larger for high-rate codes.
