  • Abstract
    The iterative algorithm for decoding binary BCH codes presented by Berlekamp and, in an alternative form, by Massey is modified to eliminate inversion. Because inversion in a finite field is time consuming and requires relatively complex circuitry, this new algorithm should he useful in practical applications of multiple-error-correcting binary BCH codes.
