Abstract

A fast decoding algorithm for low-density parity-check codes is presented based on graph decomposition and two-way message passing schedule. Simulations show that the convergence speed of the proposed algorithm is about twice as fast as that of the conventional belief propagation algorithm.

An efficient message-passing schedule for LDPC decoding

E. Sharon, Simon N. Litsyn, Jacob Goldberger

An efficient decoding schedule for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes that outperforms the conventional approach, in terms of both complexity and performance, is presented. Conventionally, in each iteration, all symbol nodes and, subsequently, all the check nodes, send messages to their neighbors ("flooding schedule"). In contrast, in the proposed method, the updating of nodes is performed according to a serial schedule which propagates the information twice as fast. A density evolution (DE) algorithm for asymptotic analysis of the new schedule is derived, showing that, when working near the code's capacity, the decoder converges in approximately half the number of iterations. In addition, a concentration theorem is proved, showing that, for a randomly chosen serial schedule, code graph, and decoder input, the decoder's performance approaches its expected one as predicted by the DE algorithm, when the code length increases.

A fast convergence decoding algorithm for LDPC codes

Xinmei Wang

A realization of belief propagation algorithms based on the two-way schedule and a serial concatenated decoding algorithm for LDPC codes based on the matrix decomposition are presented. The performance of this new algorithm is systematically analyzed via the density evolution theory. Analysis and simulation results show that the serial concatenated decoding algorithm demonstrates a higher convergence speed and has as good performance as the conventional belief propagation algorithm.

Low-density parity-check codes with 2-state trellis decoding

Mao‐Ching Chiu

A class of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with a simple 2-state trellis structure is presented. For LDPC decoding, the conventional belief propagation (BP) algorithm consists of numerous sub-decoders of single-parity check codes and exchanges information between sub-decoders in an iterative manner. If the single-parity check codes can be constructed and grouped in a proper way, the decoder can be decomposed into few identical 2-state trellis decoders. Therefore, instead of numerous sub-decoders of single-parity check codes, an iterative decoding algorithm based on few sub-decoders over 2-state trellis is proposed. The proposed decoding algorithm improves the efficiency of message passing between sub-decoders and hence provides a fast convergent rate as compared to the standard BP algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides a better performance and a fast convergent rate as compared to those of standard BP algorithm. The result also shows that the proposed algorithm has a similar performance as that of asynchronous replica shuffled BP algorithm and has a slightly inferior performance than that of synchronous replica shuffled BP algorithm. However, complexity analysis shows that our proposed algorithm has complexity that is lower than that of the replica shuffled BP algorithm.

Abstract: In this paper, a fast-convergence algorithm is proposed for the decoding of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. By putting more weight on the message update from check node to variable node in current iteration, the proposed method speeds up the decoding significantly. Simulation results show that compared with the standard layered min-sum decoding algorithm, the proposed scheme may reduce about 1/6 iteration numbers for LDPC codes used in DVB-S2, with hardware complexity overhead less than 2%.

Analysis of Complexity and Convergence Speed of Sequential Schedules for Decoding LDPC Codes

Sunghwan Kim, Min‐Ho Jang, Song‐Nam Hong +1 more

In this paper, a sequential message-passing decoding algorithm of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes by partitioning check nodes is analyzed. This decoding algorithm shows better bit error rate (BER) performance than the conventional message-passing decoding algorithm, especially for the small number of iterations. Analytical results tell us that as the number of partitioned subsets of check nodes increases, the BER performance becomes better. We also derive the recursive equations for mean values of messages at check and variable nodes by using density evolution with Gaussian approximation. Finally, the analytical results are conflrmed by the simulation results.
