Abstract
A novel soft-decision algorithm is presented for Reed-Solomon (RS) codes, based on the reordering of the symbols of the received word according to some measure of reliability. The simulation results show that improvements in coding gain of >1 dB are possible when compared to similar decoding algorithms using unsorted received words
