An_efficient_Chase_decoder_for_turbo_product_code

Description: Abstract—In this letter, we propose an efficient decoding algorithm
for turbo product codes as introduced by Pyndiah. The proposed
decoder has no performance degradation and reduces the
complexity of the original decoder by an order of magnitude. We
concentrate on extended Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquengem codes as
the constituent row and column codes because of their already low
implementation complexity. For these component codes, we observe
that the weight and reliability factors can be fixed, and that
there is no need for normalization. Furthermore, as opposed to
previous efficient decoders, the newly proposed decoder naturally
scales with a test-pattern parameter that can change as a function
of iteration number, i.e., the efficient Chase algorithm presented
here uses conventionally ordered test patterns, and the syndromes,
even parities, and extrinsic metrics are obtained with a minimum
number of operations.
