Abstract

Any vector with components in a Galois ring R = GR(pm, n) has a unique p-adic representation, given a tranversal on the cosets of {p} in R. We exploit this representation to lift a decoding algorithm for an associated code over the residue field of R to a decoding scheme for the original code. The lifted algorithm involves n consecutive applications of the given procedure. We apply these techniques to the decoding of an alternant code over a Galois ring.
