In this letter original unitary space-time constellation is divided into several groups. Each one is treated as the leaf nodes set of a subtree. Choosing the unitary signals that represent each group as the roots of these subtrees generates a tree-structured constellation. The proposed tree search decoder decides to which sub tree the receive signal belongs by searching in the set of subtree roots. The final decision is made after a local search in the leaf nodes set of the se-lected sub tree. The adjacent subtree joint decoder performs joint search in the selected sub tree and its “surrounding” subtrees,which improves the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of purely tree search method. The exhaustively search in the whole constellation is avoided in our proposed decoding al-gorithms,a lower complexity is obtained compared to that of Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding. Simulation results have also been provided to demonstrate the feasibility of these new methods.展开更多

Based on partial combination of selected columns of check matrix, the reduced-complexity syndrome decoding method is proposed to decode sub-codes of product code and deliver soft output information. So iterative decoding of product codes is possible. The fast sorting algorithm and a look-up method are proposed for high speed implementation of this algorithm. Compared to the conventional weighing iterative algorithm, the proposed algorithm has lower complexity while offering better performance, which is demonstrated by simulations and implementation analysis. The implementation scheme and verilog HDL simulation show that it is feasible to achieve high speed decoding with the proposed algorithm.展开更多
