Abstract :
Asymptotically optimal soft decision decoding algorithms for d = 3 and d = 4 Hamming codes are given and analysed. Only error sequences with probability exponent larger than that of maximum-likelihood decoding are corrected. Upper bounds on the block error probability for the Gaussian channel are given.
