Abstract
A configurable approximation Min-sum decoding algorithm for LDPC is proposed in this paper. The degradation factor of BP to MS is found and optimized based on Jacobian Logarithm and hardware working mode. The decoding algorithm is configurable to satisfy different environment's need and will only need update the variable memory. The simulation is based on LDPC NR 3GPP 38.212 release and the comparison results showed the proposed configurable approximation Min-sum decoding algorithm have a better BER performance. The hardware of this proposed algorithm is based on Min-sum decoder and the extra cost is only a shifter and an adder besides the configurable memory.
