Title: Pipelined Block-Serial Decoder Architecture for Structured LDPC Codes.
Authors: Tejas Bhatt, Vishwas Sundaramurthy, Victor J. Stolpman, Dennis McCain, Nokia Research Center, United States
Abstract: We present a pipelined block-serial decoder architecture for structured LDPC Codes, implementing the layered-mode belief-propagation. We introduce the concept of LLR-update and mirror memory to enforce a pipelined decoding schedule. The pipelined architecture improves the latency of the LDPC decoder by about 2x-3x and has negligible performance loss when implemented with clever layer scheduling. We also present a low-complexity check-node architecture suitable for block-serial processing and utilize the properties of the min approximation to significantly reduce the memory requirement. The proposed architecture is suitable for mobile devices with data-rates of tens of mbps.
