Abstract
A system and method is provided for decoding a set of bits using a plurality of hypotheses, for example, each independently tested on-the-fly. Initial bit states and associated reliability metrics may be received for the set of bits. A current hypothesis may be decoded for correcting the set of bits, wherein the current hypothesis defines different bit states and associated reliability metrics for the set of bits. If decoding the current hypothesis is not successful, a subsequently ordered hypothesis may be decoded, wherein the hypotheses are ordered such that their associated reliability metric is a monotonically non-decreasing sequence. Decoding may proceed iteratively until the current hypothesis is successful.
