  • Abstract
    This paper presents an algebraic technique for decoding binary block codes in situations where the demodulator quantizes the received signal space into Q > 2 regions. The method, referred to as weighted erasure decoding (WED), is applicable in principle to any block code for which a binary decoding procedure is known.
