Decoding Interleaved Gabidulin Codes using Alekhnovich's Algorithm (1604.05899v2)

Abstract: We prove that Alekhnovich's algorithm can be used for row reduction of skew polynomial matrices. This yields an $O(\ell^3 n^{(\omega+1)/2} \log(n))$ decoding algorithm for $\ell$-Interleaved Gabidulin codes of length $n$, where $\omega$ is the matrix multiplication exponent, improving in the exponent of $n$ compared to previous results.
