Recursive/Iterative Unique Projection-Aggregation Decoding of Reed-Muller Codes

We describe recursive unique projection-aggregation (RUPA) decoding and iterative unique projection-aggregation (IUPA) decoding of Reed-Muller (RM) codes, which remove non-unique projections from the recursive projection-aggregation (RPA) and iterative projection-aggregation (IPA) algorithms respectively. We show that these algorithms have competitive error-correcting performance while requiring up to 95% projections lower than the baseline RPA algorithm.
