However, its computational complexity remains higher than other near-ML universal decoders like ordered-statistics decoding (OSD). To address this, we propose segmented ORBGRAND, which partitions the error pattern search space based on code properties, generates syndrome-consistent sub-patterns (reducing invalid error patterns), and combines them in a near-ML order using sub-weights derived from two-level integer partitions of logistic weight. Numerical results show that segmented ORBGRAND reduces the average number of queries by at least 66\\% across all SNRs and cuts basic operations by over an order of magnitude, depending on segmentation and code rate. Further efficiency gains come from leveraging pre-generated shared sub-patterns, reducing average decoding time. Furthermore, with abandonment ($b=10^{5}$ or smaller), segmented ORBGRAND provides a 0.2 dB power gain over ORBGRAND. Additionally, we provide an analytical justification for why the logistic weight-based ordering of error patterns in ORBGRAND closely approximates the ML order and discuss the underlying assumptions of ORBGRAND.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.14892v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.14892v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"segmented-grand-combining-sub-patterns-in","repo_url":"https://github.com/mohammad-rowshan/segmented-grand","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
