Performance-Complexity-Latency Trade-offs of Concatenated RS-SDBCH Codes

Performance-complexity-latency trade-off curves for rate-0.88 concatenated outer Reed–Solomon codes and inner Chase-algorithm-based soft-decision Bose–Ray-Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem codes with PAM4 constellation using bit-interleaved coded modulation and multilevel coding coded modulation schemes over the AWGN channel are presented.
