Abstract

To achieve efficient soft-decision decoding for two-dimensional product and array codes, an adaptive decoding scheme is proposed. In the scheme, the special structure of these codes has been fully exploited, resulting in a method for effective use of combined hard-and soft-decision decoding of component codes. As a result, a substantial reduction in decoding complexity is obtained, especially when channel conditions are good. We will show that the decoding algorithm presented can guarantee bounded soft distance performance, while simulation results indicate even better decoding performance and an improvement over similar previous decoding methods. Turbo decoding is about 1 dB better in performance, but at the cost of a very significant increase in complexity.
