Low Complexity, Flexible LDPC Decoders

چکیده
The design and implementation of a flexible LDPC decoder able to cope with different codes, is gathering an increasing interest in the scientific community. Roughly speaking, a flexible decoder exhibits the remarkable ability of being able to decode different codes resorting to the same hardware. In this paper we present a novel decoder architecture specifically devised to present an high flexibility and to being able to properly tradeoff decoding performances with reconfigurability and overall system complexity.

متن کاملFPGA Implementations of LDPC over GF(2m) Decoders
Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes over GF(2) are an extension of binary LDPC codes that have not been studied extensively. Performances of GF(2) LDPC codes have been shown to be higher than binary LDPC codes, but the complexity of the encoders/decoders increases. Hence there is a substantial lack of hardware implementations for LDPC over GF(2) codes. This paper presents a FPGA serial implem...

Due to their Shannon-limit-approaching performance and low-complexity decoding, low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have been used for forward error correction in a broad-range of communication and storage systems. In addition to its low-complexity, the iterative decoding algorithm used for decoding LDPC codes is inherently parallel. To exploit the parallelism at a larger extent, a significan...
