Popis: Recently, the unified unknown syndrome representations to decode a class of binary cyclic codes have been developed by using Lagrange interpolation formula (discussed by Chang and Lee in 2010). In this study, a new method by combining the syndrome matrix search and modified Chinese remainder theorem is proposed to express the unified unknown syndrome representation as a rational function in terms of the known syndromes. A computer simulation has been executed to determine the syndrome matrices for binary cyclic codes of lengths less than or equal to 51. Compared to the Lagrange interpolation method, the method presented here substantially reduces the computational time for binary cyclic codes generated by irreducible polynomials. Finally, a complete decoding of the (31, 16, 7) quadratic residue code with inverse-free Berlekamp–Massey algorithm is given as an illustration.
