  • A Novel Iterative Decoding for Iterated Codes Using Classical and Convolutional Neural Networks

    Publication

    - Year 2024

    Forward error correction is crucial for communication, enabling error rate or required SNR reduction. Longer codes improve correction ratio. Iterated codes offer a solution for constructing long codeswith a simple coder and decoder. However, a basic iterative code decoder cannot fully exploit the code’s potential, as some error patterns within its correction capacity remain uncorrected.We propose two neural network-assisted decoders:...
