Weighted Hard-Reliability Decoding Method for Non-binary LDPC Codes

摘要

In this paper, we propose a weighted hard-reliability based one step majority-logic decoding algorithm for NON-Binary Low-Density Parity-Check (NB-LDPC) codes. To improve the information reliable of check nodes and the use efficiency of receive message, a weight reliability message method is proposed where only the weight values generated in the decoding initialization are reserved for the iterate decoding process. We also propose a new message reliability updating rule for each iterate decoding, in which only the unreliable variable nodes are updated. Simulation results show that our proposed weighted iterative hard-reliability (WIHRB) algorithm significantly improves the error-floor performance compared to the conventional truncate iterative hard-reliability (TIHRB) algorithms.
