A sequential decoder for linear block codes that performs maximum-likelihood soft-decision decoding is described. The decoder uses a metric computed from a lower bound on the cost of the unexplored ...

Binary linear block codes (BLBCs) are essential to modern communication, but their diverse structures often require multiple decoders, increasing complexity. This work introduces enhanced polar ...

A first course in error-correcting codes. Linear block codes, Hamming-Golay codes, and multiple error-correcting BCH codes are studied. Various encoding and decoding schemes are considered. Previous ...
