Abstract :
This paper presents a sub-optimum soft decision decoding (SDD) algorithm for Reed Solomon (RS) codes. The sub-optimum algorithm is based on a maximum likelihood (ML) algorithm. The performance of the decoding algorithm and its complexity are obtained by computer simulations and compared to some well known decoding schemes. It is shown that the proposed algorithm achieves near-ML performance with significantly lower decoding complexity
