Abstract:
The code length of Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) Codes is usually very long, and a lot of data storage and computing are required for decoding, so the method and the level of quantization used in messages of decoding algorithm play a key influence on decoding performance and hardware resource consumption. Based on analyzing various key data in the Min-Sum decoding algorithm and the particularity of the algorithm, a non-uniform all-integer quantization method for this algorithm is proposed in this paper. Fewer quantization length of the messages required and all integer operations were used in decoding, the method proposed greatly reduce the hardware complexity, and improves the decoding performance by providing more quantization levels for low level messages. Simulation results show that using 6-bit non-uniform quantized messages suffers a bit error rate (BER) degradation of only about 0.05 dB at a BER of 10-7 compared to using 32-bit floating-point messages, and it can save 3-4 bit compared to using uniform quantization while still achieving the same level of BER performance.
