Zipper codes are a framework for describing spatially-coupled product-like codes. Many well-
known codes, such as staircase codes and braided block codes, are subsumed into this …

Zipper codes with irregular variable degree are studied. Two new interleaver maps-chevron
and half-chevron-are described. Simulation results with shortened double-error-correcting …

This paper aims to provide a reduced-complexity decoding for satellite communication
systems to enhance system performance and transmission efficiency. By addressing the …

In this paper, we study a class of staircase codes (SCCs), which is constructed by algebraic
and single-parity-check component codes. These codes are referred to as mixed-component …

We study a class of product-like codes, which is constructed by Bose-Chaudhuri-
Hocquenghem (BCH) and single-parity-check (SPC) component codes. We propose a low …

Product codes (PCs) are typically decoded using iterative bounded distance decoding
(iBDD) to ensure a low decoding complexity. To obtain further performance gain, a soft …

Product codes have emerged as a key technique in optical communications. However, the
conventional ChasePyndiah decoding algorithm faces challenges in achieving the high …

The so-called improved soft-aided bit-marking algorithm was recently proposed for staircase
codes (SCCs) in the context of fiber optical communications. This algorithm is known as …
