List-Decoding Gabidulin Codes via Interpolation and the Euclidean Algorithm

We show how Gabidulin codes can be list decoded by using a parametrization approach. For this we consider a certain module in the ring of linearized polynomials and find a minimal basis for this module using the Euclidean algorithm with respect to composition of polynomials. For a given received word, our decoding algorithm computes a list of all codewords that are closest to the received word with respect to the rank metric.Comment: Submitted to ISITA 2014, IEICE copyright upon acceptanc

Iterative List-Decoding of Gabidulin Codes via Gr\"obner Based Interpolation

We show how Gabidulin codes can be list decoded by using an iterative parametrization approach. For a given received word, our decoding algorithm processes its entries one by one, constructing four polynomials at each step. This then yields a parametrization of interpolating solutions for the data so far. From the final result a list of all codewords that are closest to the received word with respect to the rank metric is obtained.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Information Theory Workshop 2014 in Hobart, Australi
