Loop Detection Based on Bit-Flipping Decoding Algorithm for LDPC Codes

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new bit-flipping decoding algorithm for low-density parity-check codes based on loop detection mechanism, which is an extension to soft-decision decoding. This decoding algorithm's performance has been significantly improved by introducing a loop detection mechanism for the failed flipping bit and leading into the soft-decision about the reliability measure of the received symbols. Theoretical analysis shows that the complexity of this algorithm is lower. Some simulation results are given, which show that compared with other known kinds of bit-flipping decoding algorithms for LDPC codes, this new decoding on the additive white Gaussian noise channel offer excellent performance.

Two bit-flipping decoding algorithms for low-density parity-check codes

Telex Magloire Ngatched. Nkouatchah, N. Ngatched, Martin Bossert +2 more

In this letter, a low complexity decoding algorithm for binary linear block codes is applied to low-density paritycheck (LDPC) codes and improvements are described, namely an extension to soft-decision decoding and a loop detection mechanism. For soft decoding, only one real-valued addition per code symbol is needed, while the remaining operations are only binary as in the hard decision case. The decoding performance is considerably increased by the loop detection. Simulation results are used to compare the performance with other known decoding strategies for LDPC codes, with the result that the presented algorithms offer excellent performances at smaller complexity.

An efficient bit-flipping decoding algorithm for LDPC codes

Tso-Cho Chen

In this paper, a new method for improving hard-decision bit-flipping (BF) decoding is proposed for low-density parity-check codes. The flipping criterion is derived theoretically from the soft-decision belief-propagation decoding algorithm. The proposed BF decoding algorithm is channel independent and is improved by introducing a more efficient method for computing the reliability of the parity checks. Extensive simulations are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve about 1.5dB coding gain improvement at BER = 5×10−6while reducing up to 48% iterations for decoding and maintaining low decoding complexity, compared with the conventional weighted BF algorithm.

Two-Round Selection-Based Bit Flipping Decoding Algorithm for LDPC Codes

Soufian Addi, Mostafa Belkasmi, Ahlam Berkani +1 more

This paper presents a novel iterative reliability-based bit flipping (BF) algorithm for decoding low-density parity-check codes. The new decoder is a single BF algorithm called two-round selection -based bit flipping. It introduces the idea of a two-round selection of the flipped bit, based successively on hard and soft received channel values. In the first stage, a set of unreliable bits is identified, and then a second selection is used, to pick out among them the bit to flip. In the second round of selection, the initial belief about received signals, contributes efficiently to selecting the best candidate bit. We demonstrate through simulations over the binary-input additive white Gaussian noise channel and the Rayleigh fading channel that the proposed algorithm exhibits better decoding performance when compared with some well-known soft decision BF algorithms. A complexity analysis of the proposal and a comparison to other BF decoders are also presented.

An improved bit-flipping decoding algorithm is proposed for low-density parity-check(LDPC) codes in this paper.Two influences on error probabilities of code bits are considered: the influence of the number of code bits included in an unsatisfied check,and the influence of the number of unsatisfied checks of each code bit.No soft information is required for decoding.Simulation results show that improvement on performance is observed for the proposed algorithm,and it provides better performance over several soft-decision bit-flipping decoding algorithms for LDPC codes with large girth.

Soft-decision decoding algorithm hased on reliability for LDPC code

Guangxi Zhu

A hard-decision decoding algorithm based on parity-check sum for LDPC code was first described, and then a soft-decision decoding algorithm based on parity-check sum and symbol reliability was proposed. The soft-decision decoding algorithm incorporates received symbol reliability information and a simple taboo function that avoids repeated flipping of the same bit. A maximum votes queue algorithm for the numbers of which the parity-check functions were not satisfied was applied to quickly search the flipping bit. Approaches above all were used to improve the performance of the flipping-bit algorithm based on parity-check sum.
