Abstract
We suggest a decoding algorithm of q-ary linear codes, which we
call supercode decoding. It ensures the error probability that
approaches the error probability of minimum-distance decoding as the
length of the code grows. For n→∞ the algorithm has the
maximum-likelihood performance. The asymptotic complexity of supercode
decoding is exponentially smaller than the complexity of all other
methods known. The algorithm develops the ideas of covering-set decoding
and split syndrome decoding
