Summary :

Reliability-based maximum likelihood decoding (MLD) algorithms of linear block codes have been widely studied. These algorithms efficiently search the most likely codeword using the generator matrix whose most reliable and linearly independent k (dimension of the code) columns form the identity matrix. In this paper, conditions for omitting unnecessary metrics computation of candidate codewords are derived in reliability-based MLD algorithms. The proposed conditions utilize an order relation of binary vectors. A simple method for testing if the proposed conditions are satisfied is devised. The method for testing proposed conditions requires no real number operations and, consequently, the MLD algorithm employing this method reduces the number of real number operations, compared to known reliability-based MLD algorithms.
