Abstract

The statistical approach proposed by Agrawal and Vardy (see ibid., vol.46, no.1, p.60-83, 2000) to evaluate the error performance of the generalized minimum distance (GMD) decoding is extended to other reliability-based decoding algorithms for binary linear block codes, namely Chase (1972) type, combined GMD and Chase type, and order statistic decoding (OSD). In all cases, tighter and simpler bounds than those previously proposed have been obtained with this approach
