Abstract:

In order to reduce the decoding latency, a new early stopping criterion is proposed for belief propagation (BP) decoding. A kind of special processing elements (PEs) of BP decoder called frozen and information PE (FIPE) is selected to predict whether decoding is successful or not. Statistics indicate that FIPE can be considered reliable when the frozen bit is decoded successfully. The proposed criterion is based on the fact that the number of reliable FIPE increase along with iterations and the variation trend is approximate to the ratio of correct information bits. In the term of hardware complexity, the proposed method has a linear correlation with the number of FIPE. This criterion consumes only ‘xor’ and ‘or’ gates to check stopping condition. Simulation results show that the proposed criterion achieves lower latency than Worst Information Bits (WIB) and Frozen Bit Error Rate (FBER) without BLER degradation compared with fixed and G-matrix. Compared with WIB, FBER, Best Frozen Bits (BFB) criterion, the proposed criterion has the lowest hardware complexity.
