“…Since then, a large body of work has been carried out in the area, aiming, for example, to reduce the decoder complexity, as suggested by Robertson et al [7], Berrou et al [9], as well as by Battail [8]. Le Goff et al [10], Wachsmann and Huber [11], as well as Robertson and Worz [12] suggested to use the codes in conjunction with bandwidth efficient modulation schemes. Further advances in understanding the excellent preformance of the codes are due, for example, to Benedetto and Montorsi [13], [15], Perez et al [14].…”
