Abstract
We propose a new partial decoding algorithm for m-interleaved Reed-Solomon (IRS) codes that can decode, with high probability, a random error of relative weight 1 - R m / m + 1 at all code rates R, in time polynomial in the code length n. For m > 2, this is an asymptotic improvement over the previous state-of-the-art for all rates, and the first improvement for R > 1/3 in the last 20 years. The method combines collaborative decoding of IRS codes with power decoding up to the Johnson radius.
