Performance Analysis of the (16, 7) MB-ECLC According to Decoding Algorithms

Error control performance of the (16, 7) minimum-bandwidth binary error cotrol line code (MB-ECLC) according to decoding algorithms is analyzed and compared in this paper. As a result , when retransmission is not allowed or meaningless. to reduce performance degradation ad computational burden. the modified soft decision decoding algorithm using the structure of (16,7) MB-ELEC is proposed. The error cotnrol capability of this modified algorithm is far better than that of a hard decision decoding algorithm, and almost same as that of a full soft decision decoding algorithm. In additino, the number of comparisons for the modified algorithm is decreased more than 5 times as compared with a full soft decision decoding algorithm.
