Johnson, "Information processing of linear block decoders," 2002.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/20057Conference PaperThis paper develops a systematic method of studying the benefits of soft decoding for linear block codes by applying the concepts of information processing. We show that soft decoding uniformly improves decoder performance in terms of the information transfer ratio.engInformation processingerror-correcting codesInformation ProcessingConference paperInformation processingerror-correcting codes
