Improved Layered Minimum Sum Decoding Algorithm Based on Overestimation

Published: 16 May 2023 Publication History

Abstract

Quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes are linear block codes with performance close to the Shannon limit. The layered minimum sum (LMS) decoding algorithm speeds up the decoding convergence by layering the check matrix and updating the nodes according to the layers. However, the MS algorithm has the problem of over estimation and affects the decoding performance due to its simplified strategy of MS algorithm updating the message of check nodes. Therefore, this paper proposes a layered minimum sum decoding algorithm based on overestimation. By setting the correction threshold and updating the check nodes by the conditions, the decoding performance is improved. When the code length is 2048 and the bit error rate is, the proposed algorithm can improve the decoding convergence speed by about 25% and obtain a coding gain of about 0.1 dB.
