N2 - Ordinarily a large number of error patterns is encountered in maximum likelihood soft decision syndrome decoding of a binary linear block code. However, many of them can be eliminated (without scoring) on the basis of the sorted confidence values of the hard-detected bits. We present some properties that an error pattern should possess in order to survive such elimination procedure. By applying these necessary conditions for survivability the family of error patterns is substantially reducible, and soft decision decoding is facilitated.
