Soft-output Guessing Codeword Decoding

We establish that it is possible to extract accurate blockwise and bitwise soft output from Guessing Codeword Decoding with minimal additional computational complexity by considering it as a variant of Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoding. Blockwise soft output can be used to control decoding misdetection rate while bitwise soft output results in a soft-input soft-output decoder that can be used for efficient iterative decoding of long, high redundancy codes.
