Abstract
It’s discusses the self-orthogonal error-correcting codes (SOC) commonly decoded with multithreshold decoders (MTD). It is shown algorithms used for low-density parity-check codes (LDPC) decoding can be applied for SOC decoding. It is shown that the use of min-sum algorithm for decoding of SOC with code rate 1/2 in a channel with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) with binary phase-shift keying and soft demodulation would provide additional coding gain about 1..1,5 dB compared with MTD. Thus, the computational complexity of min-sum algorithm is 6...7 times more than the complexity of MTD. In this paper is proposed the composite decoder comprising elements of MTD and min-sum algorithms for decoding of SOC. Thus on the first few iterations of decoding it is used min-sum decoder and after MTD is used. The simulation results of the proposed decoding scheme show that its use can improve the coding gain compared with MTD approximately 1 dB for SOC with code rate 1/2 over AWGN channel with binary phase-shift keying at cost of doubling in computational complexity. At the same time coding gain depends on the SOC, the number of decoding iterations of min-sum and MTD algorithms.
