Summary: 
This letter deals with an iterative decoding algorithm (IDA) for product codes. In the IDA, a soft-input and output iterative bounded-distance and encoding-based decoding algorithm is used for the component codes. Simulation results over an AWGN channel with BPSK modulation is presented and show the effectiveness of the IDA.
