A Modified BP Algorithm for LDPC Decoding Based on Minimum Mean Square Error Criterion

Abstract

In this paper, a modified Belief Propagation (BP) decoding algorithm for low-density parity check (LDPC) codes based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion is proposed. This modified algorithm uses linear equation to replace the hyperbolic function in the original BP algorithm and optimizes the linear approximation error based on MMSE criterion. As a result, compared with the standard BP algorithm the computational complexity is reduced significantly as the modified algorithm requires only addition operations to implement. Besides that simulation results show our modified algorithm can achieve an error performance very close to the BP algorithm on the additive white Gaussian noise channel.

An Improved Decoding Algorithm for LDPC Codes

XU Yong-tai

An improved decoding algorithm based on minimum mean square error(MMSE) for low-density parity-check(LDPC) codes is proposed.The new algorithm combines processing methods of two modified uniformly most powerful(UMP) BP-based algorithms(normalized UMP BP-based algorithm and offset UMP BP-based algorithm) and attains the corresponding normalization factor and offset factor according to MMSE criterion.Simulations indicate that,compared with the two above-mentioned algorithms,a gain of 0.03 dB can be achieved at bit error rate(BER) of 10-6 with the proposed algorithm when a(3,6) regular LDPC code of code length 1 008 and code rate 1/2 is used.

MMSE-based design of scaled and offset BP-based decoding algorithms on the fast Rayleigh fading channel

Zheng He, Hanying Hu

In this paper, we use the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion to design the scaled and offset belief propagation (BP)-based decoding algorithms for short low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes on the fast Rayleigh fading channel. Based on the MMSE criterion, the theoretical formulas and numerical calculations on the optimum factors for these two improved BP-based algorithms are provided. The simulation results for several short (Chen et al., 2005 and Gallager, 1962) regular LDPC codes on the fast Rayleigh fading channel demonstrate that the scaled and offset BP-based algorithms with our proposed factors can achieve the performance better than that of the BP algorithm.

An Improvement of UMP-BP Decoding Algorithm Using the Minimum Mean Square Error Linear Estimator

In this paper, we propose the modified uniformly most powerful (UMP) belief-propagation (BP)-based decoding algorithm which utilizes multiplicative and additive factors to diminish the errors introduced by the approximation of the soft values given by a previously proposed UMP BP-based algorithm. This modified UMP BP-based algorithm shows better performance than that of the normalized UMP BP-based algorithm, i.e., it has an error performance closer to BP than that of the normalized UMP BP-based algorithm on the additive white Gaussian noise channel for low density parity check codes. Also, this algorithm has the same complexity in its implementation as the normalized UMP BP-based algorithm.

Belief-Propagation-Approximated Decoding of Low-Density Parity-Check Codes

Ping Zhang

In this paper, we propose a new reduced-complexity decoding algorithm of Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes, called Belief-Propagation-Approximated (BPA) algorithm, which utilizes the idea of normalization and translates approximately the intricate nonlinear operation in the check nodes of the original BP algorithm to only one operation of looking up the table. The normalization factors can be obtained by simulation, or theoretically. Simulation results demonstrate that BPA algorithm exhibits fairly satisfactory bit error performance on the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel.

Near optimum universal belief propagation based decoding of low-density parity check codes

Jinghu Chen, M.P.C. Fossorier

In this paper, we propose a belief-propagation (BP)-based decoding algorithm which utilizes normalization to improve the accuracy of the soft values delivered by a previously proposed simplified BP-based algorithm. The normalization factors can be obtained not only by simulation, but also, importantly, theoretically. This new BP-based algorithm is much simpler to implement than BP decoding as it requires only additions of the normalized received values and is universal, i.e., the decoding is independent of the channel characteristics. Some simulation results are given, which show this new decoding approach can achieve an error performance very close to that of BP on the additive white Gaussian noise channel, especially for low-density parity check (LDPC) codes whose check sums have large weights. The principle of normalization can also be used to improve the performance of the max-log-MAP algorithm in turbo decoding, and some coding gain can be achieved if the code length is long enough.
