On multilevel codes and iterative multistage decoding.

This paper develops an approach to iterative multistage decoding of multilevel codes. This involves passing reliability information to previous and subsequent decoders instead of only hard decisions to subsequent decoders. The paper also develops an adaptive version of the suboptimal soft output dec...
