This paper is concerned with the decoding technique and performance of multi-dimensional concatenated single-parity-check (SPC) code. A very efficient sub-optimal soft-in-soft-out decoding rule is presented for the SPC code, costing only 3 addition-equivalent-operations per information bit. Multi-di...
