Abstract

A new maximum likelihood decoding (MLD) algorithm for linear block codes is proposed. The new algorithm uses the algebraic decoder in order to generate the set of candidate codewords. It uses the exact probability for each codeword as a new likelihood metric and a method to generate the appropriate set of codewords similar to Kaneko, et al., and Tanaka-Kakigahara algorithms. The performance of the proposed algorithm is the same as that of MLD as it is proved theoretically and verified by simulation results. The comparison with these similar algorithms shows that the new one always requires less average decoding complexity than those of the other algorithms. Finally, we compare the algorithms for terrestrial and satellite channels.
