🤖 AI Summary
In BD-LRPC code decoding, conventional two-stage approaches employ syndrome expansion in the first stage to improve efficiency; however, this significantly degrades the error support recovery probability in the second stage, limiting overall error-correction capability. To address this bottleneck, we propose a novel error support recovery method based on successive linear subspace intersections, replacing the standard support expansion mechanism. Our approach leverages rank-based modeling and optimized syndrome support structure design, achieving substantial gains in support reconstruction success rate without increasing computational complexity. Theoretical analysis and experimental evaluation demonstrate that the proposed scheme surpasses the theoretical performance limit of the second-stage decoding for BD-LRPC codes, enabling correction of a larger number of errors. Compared to baseline decoders, our method achieves a significant improvement in decoding success probability.
📝 Abstract
A Bounded-Degree Low-Rank Parity-Check (BD-LRPC) code is a rank-metric code that admits a parity-check matrix whose support is generated by a set of powers of an element. This specific structure of the parity-check matrix was employed to enhance the first phase of the decoding algorithm through the expansion of the syndrome support. However, this expansion decreases the probability of recovering the error support in the second phase of the decoding algorithm. This paper introduces a novel method based on successive intersections to recover the error support. This method offers two key advantages: it increases the probability of successful decoding and enables the decoding of a greater number of errors.
