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.展开更多

Five frequently used non-probabilistic reliability metrics are critically reviewed, i.e., evidence- theory-based reliability metrics, interval-analysis-based reliability metrics, fuzzy-interval-analysis- based reliability metrics, possibility-theory-based reliability metrics （posbist reliability） and uncertainty-theory-based reliability metrics （belief reliability）. It is pointed out that a qualified reli- ability metric that is able to consider the effect of epistemic uncertainty needs to （ 1 ） compensate the conservatism in the estimations of the component-level reliability metrics caused by epistemic uncertainty, and （2） satisfy the duality axiom, otherwise it might lead to paradoxical and confusing results in engineering applications. The five commonly used non-probabilistic reliability metrics are compared in terms of these two properties, and the comparison can serve as a basis for the selection of the appropriate reliability metrics.展开更多
