Abstract

Based on decoding performance,complexity and latency of finite-geometry low-density parity-check(FG-LDPC) codes,an efficient decoding algorithm is proposed.The new algorithm is a hybrid bit-flipping(BF)/majority-logic(MLG) decoding scheme.In BF decoding,an efficient method was explored to measure the reliability of the checks.At the completion of a small number of iterations,the output from BF decoding is decoded by MLG decoding.In the hybrid algorithm,there are no float operations.Simulation results show that the hybrid algorithm can provide 0.3?dB coding gain over weight bit-flipping(WBF) decoding.

Based on decoding performance, complexity and latency of finite-geometry low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, an efficient decoding algorithm is proposed. The algorithm is a hybrid bit-flipping (BF)/majority-logic (MLG) algorithm. In the algorithm, there are two stages. At the first stage, a code is decoded with bit-flipping (BF) with a small fixed number of iterations. Then the output from bit-flipping (BF) decoder is decoded by majority-logic (MLG) decoding. And in bit-flipping (BF) decoding, a new method is used to find the least reliable position. In the hybrid algorithm, there aren't real operations. Simulation results show that the algorithm provides 0.3dB coding gain over weight bit-flipping (WBF) decoding, and within 1 dB away from sum-product algorithm (SPA) decoding.

Hybrid Iterative Decoding for Low-Density Parity-Check Codes Based on Finite Geometries

Li Jian, Xian‐Da Zhang

In this letter, a two-stage hybrid iterative decoding algorithm which combines two iterative decoding algorithms is proposed to reduce the computational complexity of finite geometry low-density parity-check (FG-LDPC) codes. We introduce a fast weighted bit-flipping (WBF) decoding algorithm for the first stage decoding. If the first stage decoding fails, the decoding is continued by the powerful belief propagation (BP) algorithm. The proposed hybrid decoding algorithm greatly reduces the computational complexity while maintains the same performance compared to that of using the BP algorithm only.

Improved Bit-Flipping Method for Decoding Structured Low-Density Parity-Check Codes

Meiling Zhang

An improved bit-flipping(BF) algorithm with low complexity for decoding structured low-density parity-check codes(LDPC) is proposed to improve the performance of the hard-decision BF algorithm.The hard-decision bits are divided into two groups based on the magnitudes of the received symbols,and at each iteration,the proposed algorithm can flip more than one bit with using two thresholds,and the flipping error probability is effectively decreased.The improved BF algorithm requires some real number comparisons before iterations and requires only logical operations during the iterations.Compared with the weighted bit-flipping algorithm and its modifications,the new method is with significantly lower complexity.Simulations show that the proposed algorithm is provided with very fast convergence speed and excellent performance with significantly low 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.

A modified weighted bit-flipping algorithm for LDPC codes

Haigang Zhang, Dongfeng Yuan, Cheng‐Xiang Wang

In this paper, a modified weighted bit-flipping (WBF) algorithm is proposed for finite geometry low-density parity-check (FG-LDPC) codes. The calculation for the flipping function in the new method includes all the elements in sum product algorithm (SPA) instead of the minimum one in most existing methods. Simulation results show that the proposed method exhibits better performance than the best method available in the literature so far. The performances of different algorithms are also considered in random constructed LDPC codes. The reliability ratio based WBF (RRWBF) method performs the best in this kind of codes and the proposed method performs very closely to the RRWBF method. The decoding complexities for both FG-LDPC and random constructed LDPC are also analyzed.
