Abstract

A high performance genetic algorithm for suboptimal soft-decision decoding of binary linear block codes, which gives bit-error-probabilities as low as 0.00183 for a [104, 52] extended quadratic residue code with a signal-to-noise ratio of 2.5 dB, exploring only 30,000 codewords, whereas the search space contains 1015 codewords. Success ensues from the use of a new crossover operator that exploits problem-specific knowledge.
