TL;DR
This work proposes a novel soft-aided hard-decision decoding algorithm for general product-like codes that achieves error correcting performance similar to that of a soft-decision turbo decoder for staircase and OFEC codes, while maintaining a low complexity.
Abstract
We propose a novel soft-aided hard-decision decoding algorithm for general product-like codes. It achieves error correcting performance similar to that of a soft-decision turbo decoder for staircase and OFEC codes, while maintaining a low complexity.
