Zipper codes are a framework for describing spatially-coupled product-like codes. Many well-
known codes, such as staircase codes and braided block codes, are subsumed into this …

Error correction coding (ie, channel coding) is a key ingredient of any digital
communications system. In mobile wireless communications, channel codes have evolved …

Product codes (PCs) and staircase codes (SCCs) are conventionally decoded based on
bounded distance decoding (BDD) of the component codes and iterating between row and …

Products codes (PCs) are conventionally decoded with efficient iterative bounded-distance
decoding (iBDD) based on hard-decision channel outputs which entails a performance loss …

Low complexity decoding algorithms are necessary to meet data rate requirements in
excess of 1 Tbps. In this paper, we study one and two bit message passing algorithms for …

We propose a novel soft-aided iterative decoding algorithm for product codes (PCs). The
proposed algorithm, named iterative bounded distance decoding with combined reliability …

We propose a new family of spatially coupled product codes, called sub-block rearranged
staircase (SR-staircase) codes. Each code block of SR-staircase codes is obtained by …

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 …

We introduce a novel soft-aided hard-decision decoder for product codes adopting bit
marking via updated reliabilities at each decoding iteration. Gains up to 0.8 dB vs. standard …

This paper investigates the theoretical analysis of intrinsic message passing decoding for
generalized product codes (GPCs) with irregular degree distributions, a generalization of …
