Decoding of Product Codes in Discrete and Semi-continuous Channels with Memory
摘要
Product code construction is a powerful error-correcting tool for both channels with and without memory. The common approach to decoding product codes is to apply consequent decoders in a sequential manner. The paper examines the influence of memory in the channel on iterative decoding for hard decision, soft decision, and trellis-based decoding algorithms. Also, the attainable performance of iterative schemes with and without knowledge of channel state information is presented.
