Zusammenfassung:Sum-rank-metric codes have wide applications in multishot network coding and distributed storage. Linearized Reed-Solomon codes, sum-rank BCH codes and their Welch-Berlekamp decoding algorithms have been proposed and studied. In this paper, we construct binary linear sum-rank-metric codes in <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">{\mathbf { F}}_{2}^{2 \times 2}\oplus {\mathbf { F}}_{2}^{2 \times 2} \oplus \cdots \oplus {\mathbf { F}}_{2}^{2 \times 2} </tex-math></inline-formula> from BCH, Goppa and additive quaternary codes. A reduction of decoding of binary sum-rank-metric codes to decoding of Hamming metric codes is given. Fast decoding algorithms of BCH-type and Goppa-type binary linear sum-rank-metric codes in <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">{\mathbf { F}}_{2}^{2 \times 2}\oplus {\mathbf { F}}_{2}^{2 \times 2} \oplus \cdots \oplus {\mathbf { F}}_{2}^{2 \times 2} </tex-math></inline-formula> with the block length <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">\ell </tex-math></inline-formula>, which are better than these sum-rank BCH codes, are presented. These fast decoding algorithms for BCH-type and Goppa-type binary linear sum-rank-metric codes need at most <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">O(\ell ^{2}) </tex-math></inline-formula> operations in the field <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">{\mathbf { F}}_{4} </tex-math></inline-formula>. Asymptotically good sequences of quadratic-time encodable and decodable binary linear sum-rank-metric codes with the matrix size <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">\times 2 </tex-math></inline-formula> are constructed from Goppa codes.
