Abstract:

An improved decoding algorithm based on minimum mean square error(MMSE) for LDPC codes is proposed. The new algorithm combines processing methods of two modified UMP BP-based algorithms (normalized UMP BP-based algorithm and offset UMP BP-based algorithm) and attains the corresponding normalization factor and offset factor according to MMSE criterion. Simulation results indicate that compared with the two above-mentioned algorithms a gain of 0.03 dB can be achieved at BER of 10-6 with the proposed algorithm when a (3,6) regular LDPC code of code length 1008 and code rate 1/2 is used.

Key words: low-density parity-check codes, minimum mean square error, decoding algorithm
