Summary:
This letter proposes a simple iterative decoding algorithm for the concatenation codes where the outer code is single-parity-check (SPC) code. The erroneous inner codewords are iteratively combined with maximum ratio combining (MRC) and then re-decoded. Compared with the conventional scheme where the RS outer code concatenation is algebraically decoded to recover the erasures, the proposed scheme has better performance due to MRC processing. On the other hand, the proposed scheme is less complex because the linear combination is simpler than algebraical decoding and the MRC gain can loose the requirement for inner decoder.
