Fast Decoding of LDPC Convolutional Codes
Huijuan Zheng
Abstract
By adopting a serial massage-passing strategy,a modified variant of the original pipeline iterative decoding algorithm is proposed for low-density parity-check (LDPC) convolutional codes. Both analysis and simulation results show that,compared to the original decoding algorithm,the modified algorithm exhibits a much faster convergence speed and could achieve the same performance as the original one by using only one half of the number of processors.
