Error performance analysis for reliability-based decoding algorithms
In this correspondence, the statistical approach proposed by Agrawal and Vardy to evaluate the error performance of the generalized minimum distance (GMD) decoding is extended to other reliability-based decoding algorithms for binary linear block codes, namely Chase-type, combined GMD and Chase-type, and order statistic decodings (OSDs). In all cases, tighter and simpler bounds than those previously proposed have been obtained with this approach.
