Reducing the Error Floor


Abstract in English

We discuss how the loop calculus approach of [Chertkov, Chernyak 06], enhanced by the pseudo-codeword search algorithm of [Chertkov, Stepanov 06] and the facet-guessing idea from [Dimakis, Wainwright 06], improves decoding of graph based codes in the error-floor domain. The utility of the new, Linear Programming based, decoding is demonstrated via analysis and simulations of the model $[155,64,20]$ code.
