摘要
Soft-decision decoding is considered for general Reed-Muller (RM) codes of length n and distance d used over a memoryless channel. A recursive decoding algorithm is designed and its decoding threshold is derived for long RM codes. The algorithm has complexity of order n In n and corrects most error patterns of the Euclidean weight of order root n/ln n, instead of the decoding threshold root d/2 of the bounded distance decoding. Also, for long RM codes of fixed rate R, the new algorithm increases 4/pi times the decoding threshold of its hard-decision counterpart.
