Abstract
A decoder decodes a soft information input vector represented by an input vector that is binary and that is constructed from the soft information input vector. The decoder stores even parity error vectors that are binary and odd parity error vectors that are binary for L least reliable bits (LRBs) of the input vector. The decoder computes a parity check of the input vector, and selects as error vectors either the even parity error vectors or the odd parity error vectors based at least in part on the parity check. The decoder hard decodes test vectors, representing respective sums of the input vector and respective ones of the error vectors, based on the L LRBs, to produce codewords that are binary for corresponding ones of the test vectors, and metrics associated with the codewords. The decoder updates the soft information input vector based on the codewords and the metrics.
