This paper proposes some new improved versions of node-wise VCRBP algorithm for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, called forced-convergence node-wise VCRBP algorithm and sign based node-wise VCRBP, both of which significantly reduce the decoding complexity and latency, with only negligible deterioration in error correcting performance.

In this paper, the modified iterative decoding algorithm[8] by partitioning check nodes is applied to low-density parity-check(LDPC) codes in IEEE 802.16e standards, which gives us the improvement for convergence speed of decoding. Also, the new method of check node partitioning which is suitable for decoding of the LDPC codes in IEEE 802.16e system is proposed. The improvement of convergence speed in decoding reduces the number of iterations and thus the computational complexity of the decoder. The decoding method by partitioning check nodes can be applied to the LDPC codes whose decoder cannot be implemented in the fully parallel processing as an efficient sequential processing method. The modified iterative decoding method of LDPC codes using the proposed check node partitioning method can be used to implement the practical decoder in the wireless communication systems.

This paper proposes a faulty node detection scheme that performs collective monitoring of a distributed networked control systems using interval weighting factor. The algorithm is designed to observe every node's behavior collectively based on the pseudo-random Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) code. Each node sends a single BCH bit simultaneously as a replacement for the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code. The fault judgement is performed by performing sequential check of observed detected error to guarantee detection accuracy. This scheme can be used for detecting and preventing serious damage caused by node failure. Simulation results show that the fault judgement based on decision pattern gives comprehensive summary of suspected faulty node.

Although non-binary low-density parity-check (NB-LDPC) codes have better error-correction capability than that of binary LDPC codes, their decoding complexity is significantly higher. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce the decoding complexity of NB-LDPC while maintaining their error-correction capability to adopt them for various applications. The extended min-sum (EMS) algorithm is widely used for decoding NB-LDPC codes, and it reduces the complexity of check node (CN) operations via message truncation. Herein, we propose a low-cost CN processing method to reduce the complexity of CN operations, which take most of the decoding time. Unlike existing studies on low complexity CN operations, the proposed method employs quick selection algorithm, thereby reducing the hardware complexity and CN operation time. The experimental results show that the proposed selection-based CN operation is more than three times faster and achieves better error-correction performance than the conventional EMS algorithm.

This paper makes an analysis of the encoding structure and the decoding algorithm proposed by the DVB-S2 specification. The methods of implementing the LDPC decoder are fully serial decoder, the partially parallel decoder and the fully parallel decoder. The partial parallel scheme is the efficient selection to achieve appropriate trade-offs between hardware complexity and decoding speed. Therefore, this paper proposed an efficient memory structure for check node update block, bit node update block, and LLR memory.

I must receive node discernment address for communication between node that participate to network in MANETs(Mobile Ad-hoc Networks). Address is created by node confidence or different node. I achieve address redundancy check (Duplicate Address Detection) to examine whether this address is available unique address. However, this method happens problem that MANETs' extensity drops. This paper can manage by group unit binding transfer nodes to group in MANETs. I suggest method that apply special quality of cluster that exchange subordinate decrease and mobility government official of control message are easy in address assignment protocol minimize time required in redundancy check and solves extensity problem. Method that propose in this paper shows excellent performance according to node number increase than wave and MANETConf [2] through simulation.

This paper presents the high-throughput fully-parallel architecture for GF(64) (160,80) regular (2,4) non-binary LDPC (NB-LDPC) codes decoder based on the extended min sum algorithm. We exploit the NB-LDPC code that features a very low check node and variable node degree to reduce the complexity of decoder. This paper designs the fully-parallel architecture and allows the interleaving check node and variable node to increase the throughput of the decoder. We further improve the throughput by the proposed early sorting to reduce the latency of the check node operation. The proposed decoder has the latency of 37 cycles in the one decoding iteration and achieves a high throughput of 1402Mbps at 625MHz.

This paper proposes a new min-sum algorithm for low-density parity-check decoding. In this paper, we first define the negative and positive effects of the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the min-sum decoding algorithm. To improve the performance of error correction by considering the negative and positive effects of the received SNR, the proposed algorithm applies adaptive scaling factors not only to extrinsic information but also to a received log-likelihood ratio. We also propose a combined variable and check node architecture to realize the proposed algorithm with low complexity. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves up to 0.4 dB coding gain with low complexity compared to existing min-sum-based algorithms.

A low density parity check (LDPC) decoder provides a most powerful error control capability for mobile communication devices and storage systems, due to its performance being close to Shannon's limit. In this paper, we introduce an efficient overlapped LDPC decoding algorithm using a upper dual-diagonal parity check matrix structure. By means of this algorithm, the LDPC decoder can concurrently execute parts of the check node update and variable node update in the sum-product algorithm. In this way, we can reduce the number of clock cycles per iteration as well as reduce the total latency. The proposed decoding structure offers a very simple control and is very flexible in terms of the variable bit length and variable code rate. The experiment results show that the proposed decoder can complete the decoding of codewords within 70% of the number of clock cycles required for a conventional non-overlapped decoder. The proposed design also reduces the power consumption by 33% when compared to the non-overlapped design.

We consider the challenges of finding good puncturing patterns for rate-compatible low-density parity-check code (LDPC) codes over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. Puncturing is a scheme to obtain a series of higher rate codes from a lower rate mother code. It is widely used in channel coding but it causes performance is lost compared to non-punctured LDPC codes at the same rate. Previous work, considered the role of survived check nodes in puncturing patterns. Limitations, such as single survived check node assumption and simulation-based verification, were examined. This paper analyzes the performance according to the role of multiple survived check nodes and multiple dead check nodes. Based on these analyses, we propose new algorithm to find a good puncturing pattern for LDPC codes over AWGN channels.
