Abstract

Given a linear [n,Rn,δn] code, we show that for R ≥ δ/2 the time complexity of unique decoding is O(n 2 q nRH(δ/2/R)) and the time complexity of minimum distance decoding is O(n 2 q nRH(δ/R)). The proposed algorithms inspect all error patterns in the information set of the received message of weight less than δn/2 or δn, respectively.
