Abstract
The authors present an efficient, sub-optimal, soft-in-soft-out decodi ng rule for single parity check (SPC) codes, which requires only three addition-equivalent-operations per information bit. Its application i s demonstrated by the simulation results of a rate 5/6 four-dimensiona l concatenated SPC code, for which performance of BER = 10(-5) at E-b/ N-0 = 3.5dB is observed, which is only similar to 1.2dB from the theor etical limit.
