Support-Guessing Decoding Algorithms in the Sum-Rank Metric

Thomas Jerkovits, Hannes Bartz, Antonia Wachter-Zeh

The sum-rank metric generalizes the Hamming and rank metric by partitioning vectors into blocks and defining the total weight as the sum of the rank weights of these blocks, based…

An Error-Code Perspective on Metzner--Kapturowski-like Decoders

Thomas Jerkovits, Felicitas Hörmann, Hannes Bartz

In this paper we consider a Metzner-Kapturowski-like decoding algorithm for high-order interleaved sum-rank-metric codes, offering a novel perspective on the decoding process throu…

Bounds on Sphere Sizes in the Sum-Rank Metric and Coordinate-Additive Metrics

Hugo Beeloo-Sauerbier Couvée, Thomas Jerkovits, Jessica Bariffi

This paper provides new bounds on the size of spheres in any coordinate-additive metric with a particular focus on improving existing bounds in the sum-rank metric. We derive impro…

Randomized Decoding of Linearized Reed-Solomon Codes Beyond the Unique Decoding Radius

Thomas Jerkovits, Hannes Bartz, Antonia Wachter-Zeh

In this paper we address the problem of decoding linearized Reed-Solomon (LRS) codes beyond their unique decoding radius. We analyze the complexity in order to evaluate if the cons…

Decoding of Space-Symmetric Rank Errors

Thomas Jerkovits, Vladimir Sidorenko, Antonia Wachter-Zeh

This paper investigates the decoding of certain Gabidulin codes that were transmitted over a channel with space-symmetric errors. Space-symmetric errors are additive error matrices…

Fast Decoding of Codes in the Rank, Subspace, and Sum-Rank Metric

Hannes Bartz, Thomas Jerkovits, Sven Puchinger +1

We speed up existing decoding algorithms for three code classes in different metrics: interleaved Gabidulin codes in the rank metric, lifted interleaved Gabidulin codes in the subs…
