Generalized Staircase Codes with Arbitrary Bit Degree

Abstract

We introduce a natural generalization of staircase codes in which each bit is protected by arbitrarily many component codewords rather than two. This enables powerful energy-efficient FEC based on iterative decoding of Hamming components.
