On Parameter Optimization and Reach Enhancement for the Improved Soft-Aided Staircase Decoder
Yi Lei, Bin Chen, Gabriele Liga +1
The so-called improved soft-aided bit-marking algorithm was recently proposed for staircase codes (SCCs) in the context of fiber optical communications. This algorithm is known as…
A Soft-Aided Staircase Decoder Using Three-Level Channel Reliabilities
Yi Lei, Bin Chen, Gabriele Liga +3
The soft-aided bit-marking (SABM) algorithm is based on the idea of marking bits as highly reliable bits (HRBs), highly unreliable bits (HUBs), and uncertain bits to improve the pe…
Improving HD-FEC decoding via bit marking
Alex Alvarado, Gabriele Liga, Yi Lei +2
We review the recently introduced soft-aided bit-marking (SABM) algorithm and its suitability for product codes. Some aspects of the implementation of the SABM algorithm are discus…
Improved Decoding of Staircase Codes: The Soft-aided Bit-marking (SABM) Algorithm
Yi Lei, Bin Chen, Gabriele Liga +5
Staircase codes (SCCs) are typically decoded using iterative bounded-distance decoding (BDD) and hard decisions. In this paper, a novel decoding algorithm is proposed, which partia…
Decoding Staircase Codes with Marked Bits
Yi Lei, Alex Alvarado, Bin Chen +4
Staircase codes (SCCs) are typically decoded using iterative bounded-distance decoding (BDD) and hard decisions. In this paper, a novel decoding algorithm is proposed, which partia…
