Implementation of low-density parity-check codes decoder for CCSDS standard

The complexity/performance balanced decoder for low-density parity-check （LDPC） codes is preferred in practical wireless communication systems. A low complexity LDPC decoder for the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems （CCSDS） standard is achieved in DSP. An ap- proximate decoding algorithm, normalized rain-sum algorithm, is used in the implementation for its low amounts of computation. To reduce the performance loss caused by the approximation, the pa- rameters of the normalized min-sum algorithm are determined by calculating and finding the mini- mum value of thresholds through density evolution. The minimum value which indicates the best per- formance of the decoding algorithm is corresponding with the optimized parameters. In implementa- tion, the memory cost is saved by decomposing the parity-check matrix into submatrices to store and the computation of passing message in decoding is accelerated by using the intrinsic function of DSP. The performance of the decoder with optimized factors is simulated and compared with the ideal BP decoder. The result shows they have about the same performance.

Data Gathering in Wireless Sensor Networks Via Regular Low Density Parity Check Matrix

A great challenge faced by wireless sensor networks(WSNs) is to reduce energy consumption of sensor nodes. Fortunately, the data gathering via random sensing can save energy of sensor nodes. Nevertheless, its randomness and density usually result in difficult implementations, high computation complexity and large storage spaces in practical settings. So the deterministic sparse sensing matrices are desired in some situations. However,it is difficult to guarantee the performance of deterministic sensing matrix by the acknowledged metrics. In this paper, we construct a class of deterministic sparse sensing matrices with statistical versions of restricted isometry property(St RIP) via regular low density parity check(RLDPC) matrices. The key idea of our construction is to achieve small mutual coherence of the matrices by confining the column weights of RLDPC matrices such that St RIP is satisfied. Besides, we prove that the constructed sensing matrices have the same scale of measurement numbers as the dense measurements. We also propose a data gathering method based on RLDPC matrix. Experimental results verify that the constructed sensing matrices have better reconstruction performance, compared to the Gaussian, Bernoulli, and CSLDPC matrices. And we also verify that the data gathering via RLDPC matrix can reduce energy consumption of WSNs.

Low-Complexity Optimization Algorithm for Irregular Low-Density Parity-Check Codes

A low-complexity algorithm is proposed in this paper in order to optimize irregular low-density parity-check （LDPC） codes.The algorithm proposed can calculate the noise threshold by means of a one-dimensional density evolution and search the optimal degree profiles with fast-convergence differential evolution,so that it has a lower complexity and a faster convergence speed.Simulation resuits show that the irregular LDPC codes optimized by the presented algorithm can also perform better than Turbo codes at moderate block length even with less computation cost.

DESIGN OF LOW-DENSITY PARITY CHECK CODES FOR MIMO SYSTEMS WITH DOUBLY-ITERATIVE RECEIVERS

In this paper, the Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) doubly-iterative receiver which consists of the Probabilistic Data Association detector (PDA) and Low-Density Parity-Check Code (LDPC) decoder is developed. The receiver performs two iterative decoding loops. In the outer loop, the soft information is exchanged between the PDA detector and the LDPC decoder. In the inner loop, it is exchanged between variable node and check node decoders inside the LDPC decoder. On the light of the Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) chart technique, an LDPC code degree profile optimization algorithm is developed for the doubly-iterative receiver. Simulation results show the doubly-receiver with optimized irregular LDPC code can have a better performance than the one with the regular one.

Low-Density Parity-Check Codes: Research Status and Development Direction

In this paper, we conclude five kinds of methods for construction of the regular low-density parity matrix H and three kinds of methods for the construction of irregular low-density parity-check matrix H. Through the analysis of the code rate and parameters of these eight kinds of structures, we find that the construction of low-density parity-check matrix tends to be more flexible and the parameter variability is enhanced. We propose that the current development cost should be lower with the progress of electronic technology and we need research on more practical Low-Density Parity-Check Codes (LDPC). Combined with the application of the quantum distribution key, we urgently need to explore the research direction of relevant theories and technologies of LDPC codes in other fields of quantum information in the future.
