Accelerating BP-Based Iterative Low-Density Parity-Check Decoding by Modified Vertical and Horizontal Processes

【摘要】 Two modified BP algorithms related to vertical and horizontal processes are proposed to accelerate iterative low-density parity-check(LDPC) decoding over an additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel,where the newly updated extrinsic information is immediately used in the current decoding round.Theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that both the modified approaches provide significant performance improvements over the traditional BP algorithm with almost no additional decoding complexity.The proposed algorithm with modified horizontal process offers even better performance than another algorithm with the modified horizontal process.The two modified BP algorithms are very promising in practical communications since both can achieve an excellent trade-off between the performance and decoding complexity.更多还原
