文摘To improve error-correcting performance, an iterative concatenated soft decoding algorithm for Reed-Solomon (RS) codes is presented in this article. This algorithm brings both complexity as well as advantages in performance over presently popular sot~ decoding algorithms. The proposed algorithm consists of two powerful soft decoding techniques, adaptive belief propagation (ABP) and box and match algorithm (BMA), which are serially concatenated by the accumulated log-likelihood ratio (ALLR). Simulation results show that, compared with ABP and ABP-BMA algorithms, the proposed algorithm can bring more decoding gains and a better tradeoff between the decoding performance and complexity.
