In this paper, the combination of equalization and turbo decoding is studied. In the iterative decoding of a product code in block turbo coding system, the equalization process is performed within the iteration loop. The present study aims to investigate the decision feedback equalizer (DFE) incorporated in the iterative decoding. Simulation results show that the more severe the channel interfe...

This paper gives a new approach to decoding Hermite codes using the key equation, avoiding the use of majority voting. Our approach corrects up to (dmin − 1)/2 errors, and works up to some extent also beyond. We present an efficient implementation of our algorithm based on a Sugiyamatype iterative procedure for computing solutions of a key equation.

A code C ⊆ Fn 2 is a (c, ǫ, δ)-expander code if it has a Tanner graph, where every variable node has degree c, and every subset of variable nodes L0 such that |L0| ≤ δn has at least ǫc|L0| neighbors. Feldman et al. (IEEE IT, 2007) proved that LP decoding corrects 3ǫ−2 2ǫ−1 · (δn − 1) errors of (c, ǫ, δ)expander code, where ǫ > 2 3 + 1 3c . In this paper, we provide a simpler proof of their resu...

In this paper, two new hybrid algorithms are proposed for decoding Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes. Original version of the proposed algorithms named Search Based Weighted Multi Bit Flipping (SWMBF). The main idea of these algorithms is flipping variable multi bits in each iteration, change in which leads to the syndrome vector with least hamming weight. To achieve this, the proposed algo...
