\begin{theorem}[Coset Decoding Is Nearest-Neighbor Decoding]
|
|
In coset decoding, a received word $w$ is decoded as a code word $c$ such that $d(w,c)$ is a minimum.

\end{theorem}

\begin{definition}[Syndrome]
|
|
If an $(n,k)$ linear code over $\F$ has parity-check matrix $H$, then, for any vector $u$ in $\F^n$, the vector $uH$ is called the \textit{syndrome} of $u$.
|
|
\end{definition}
|
|
|
|
\begin{theorem}[Same Coset-Same Syndrome]
|
|
Let $C$ be an $(n,k)$ linear code over $\F$ with a parity-check matrix $H$. Then, two vectors of $\F^n$ are in the same coset of $C$ if and only if they have the same syndrome.
