One popular approach to soft-decision decoding of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes is based on using multiple trials of a simple RS decoding algorithm in combination with erasing or flipping a set of symbols or bits in each trial. This paper…

We propose an efficient algorithm to find a Reed-Solomon (RS) codeword at a distance within the covering radius of the code from any point in its ambient Hamming space. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first attempt of its…
