Abstract

We derive the maximum decoding radius for interleaved Hermitian (IH) codes if a collaborative decoding scheme is used. A decoding algorithm that achieves this bound, which is based on a division decoding algorithm, is given. Based on the decoding radius for the interleaved codes, we derive a bound on the code rate below which virtual extension of non-interleaved Hermitian codes can improve the decoding capabilities.
