37th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS '96) Maximum likelihood decoding of Reed Solomon codes Burlington, VT October 14-October 16 ISBN: 0-8186-7594-2
This paper presents a bit level soft decision decoding algorithm for Reed-Solomon codes of moderately low complexity. Coset properties of Reed-Solomon codes represented in GF(2) are used to derive an efficient maximum likelihood decoding algorithm. The algorithm could be easily modified to produce soft output estimates.
