Robust decoding of DFT-based error-control codes for impulsive and additive white Gaussian noise channels

A novel decoding technique for DFT-based error control codes that is robust against quantisation noise and additive white Gaussian noise is proposed. The algorithm simultaneously determines the number and the positions of the corrupted samples. In contrast to the conventional decoding technique, the proposed decoding method is stable in the presence of both quantisation noise and additive white Gaussian noise.
