We propose a complexity-reducing algorithm for serial scheduled min-sum decoding that reduces the number of check nodes to process during an iteration. The check nodes to skip are chosen based on the reliability, a syndrome and a log-likelihood-ratio (LLR) value, of the incoming messages. The proposed algorithm is evaluated by computer simulations and shown to reduce the decoding complexity about 20 compared with a conventional serial scheduled min-sum decoding with small fractional decibel degradation in error correction performance.
