Abstract

This letter presents a modified low-complexity chase (LCC) algorithm, where a fewer number of vectors can be tested with minor error correction performance degradation. The proposed LCC decoding pre-determines whether the number of errors in the received codeword is even or odd, and it processes only necessary test vectors. As a result, the number of test vectors can be reduced by half compared to the conventional LCC decoding. The Reed-Solomon (255,239) decoder with the proposed LCC algorithm has been implemented using 65nm CMOS process. The hardware implementation results show that the proposed decoder shows 48.5% reduced latency with 0.06 dB of coding gain decrease at $\mathbf {10^{-6}}$ codeword error rate compared to the state-of-the-art LCC decoder.
