Abstract

En 中文
In this letter, a low-complexity approach for the automorphism ensemble decoder (AED) using successive cancellation (SC) as constituent decoders is proposed. The approach sequentially activates sub-decoders and terminates the decoding process based on pre-optimized parameters, derived from the strong correlation observed between the decoding outcome and the SC path metric. An algorithm is proposed to find a list of early termination thresholds that minimize average decoding complexity subject to a block-error rate (BLER) constraint. For various code parameters and a BLER below $10^{-3}$ , simulation results show that average decoding complexity is reduced by a factor of at least $6\times $ , and up to $22\times $ , compared to the original AED complexity, with a negligible degradation in BLER.
