In this paper, binary linear block codes with very low encoding and decoding complexity (therefore, "simple" codes) are introduced as outer codes in a serially concatenated coding scheme employing ...

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 ...

Given any fixed linear block code, the error rates for the message symbols depend both on the encoding function and on the decoding map. This research shows how to optimize the choice of a generator ...
