            Abstract : 
A decision feedback scheme for block codes is investigated for binary symmetric channel. The corresponding decision rule is based on a simple threshold test. We derive an asymptotic performance bound on the achievable block error rates. This bound improves the best known results for the threshold test. The achievable error exponent is close to Forney´s feedback exponent.
