Abstract Integer Linear Programming (ILP) is a general method to solve the Maximum-Likelihood (ML) decoding problem for all kinds of binary linear codes. To this end, state-of-the-art techniques use a Branch-and-Bound (B&B) framework to partition the underlying integer linear problem into several relaxed linear problems. These linear problems then have to be solved in reasonable time by an efficient Linear Programming (LP) solver. Recently, the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) has been proposed for efficient software and hardware LP decoding of sparse codes, hence, an ADMM-based ML decoder seems to be a promising approach. In this paper, we investigate this approach with respect to its algorithmic and implementation-specific challenges.
