Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with belief-propagation (BP) algorithm achieve a remarkable performance close to the Shannon limit at reasonable decoding complexity. Conventionally, each iteration in decoding process contains two steps, the horizontal step and the vertical step. In this paper, an efficient implementation of the adaptive offset min-sum (AOMS) algorithm for decoding LDPC codes using the single-step method is proposed. Furthermore, the performances of the AOMS algorithm compared with belief-propagation (BP) algorithm are investigated. The algorithms using the single-step method reduce the implementation complexity, speed up the decoding process and have better efficiency in terms of memory requirements.

An implementation of modified stereo matching using efficient belief propagation(BP) algorithm is presented in this paper. Edges of the image were found using conventional edge detection algorithms. Resulting edge information is used to suppress propagation of wrong probabilistic information. Proposed method can effectively reduce errors that incurred by ambiguous scene properties.

In this paper I analyzed two decoding algorithms of decentralized LT codes for distributed storage by simulations in small-scale wireless sensor network. From the simulation results we can see that when the decoding ration is above 2.0, the successful decoding probability of OBP decoding is about 99%, while that of BP decoding is below 50% with n=100, and about 70% with n=200. We showed that OBP decoding algorithm is an efficient decoding scheme for decentralized LT codes for distributed storage in small-scale wireless sensor network.

An implementation of robust stereo matching algorithm under variable illumination conditions is presented in this paper. By applying window-based matchingmethod to global stereo matching algorthm using belief propagation, our implemented system shows low error rate and could efficiently cope with general radiometric disimilarities between images acquired from two different point of views.

In this paper, the matching error rates of modified area-based, energy-based algorithms, and learning-based structures were compared for stereo image matching. Census transform (CT) based on region and life propagation (BP) algorithm based on energy were selected, respectively.Existing algorithms have been improved and implemented in an embedded processor environment so that they can be used for stereo image matching in mobile systems. Even in the case of the learning base to be compared, a neural network structure that utilizes small-scale parameters was adopted. To compare the error rates of the three matching methods, Middlebury's Tsukuba was selected as a test image and subdivided into non-occlusion, discontinuous, and disparity error rates for accurate comparison. As a result of the experiment, the error rate of modified CT matching improved by about 11% when compared with the existing algorithm. BP matching was about 87% better than conventional CT in the error rate. Compared to the learning base using neural networks, BP matching was about 31% superior.

Terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA) standard specifies shortened Reed-Muller (RM) codes as forward error correction means for control signals. In this paper, we compare decoding algorithms for RM codes in TETRA, in terms of performance and complexity trade-off. Belief propagation and majority logic decoding algorithms are selected for comparison.

Both low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and the multiple access technique of spatially coupling data transmission (SCDT) can be expressed in bipartite graphs. To improve the performance of iterative demodulation and decoding for SCDT, a novel joint sparse graph (JSG) with SCDT and LDPC codes is constructed. Based on the JSG, an approach for iterative joint demodulation and decoding by belief propagation (BP) is presented as an exploration of the flooding schedule, and based on BP, density evolution equations are derived to analyze the performance of the iterative receiver. To accelerate the convergence speed and reduce the complexity of joint demodulation and decoding, a novel serial schedule is proposed. Numerical results show that the joint demodulation and decoding for SCDT based on JSG can significantly improve the system's performance, while roughly half of the iterations can be saved by using the proposed serial schedule.

This paper considers two reconstruction schemes of structured-sparse signals, turbo inference and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) inference, in compressed sensing(CS) technique that is recently getting an important issue for an efficient video wireless transmission system using multi-copter as an unmanned aerial vehicle. Proposed reconstruction algorithms are setting importance on reduction of image data sizes, fast reconstruction speed and errorless reconstruction. As a result of experimentation with twenty kinds of images, we can find turbo reconstruction algorithm based on loopy belief propagation(BP) has more excellent performances than MCMC algorithm based on Gibbs sampling as aspects of average reconstruction computation time, normalized mean squared error(NMSE) values.

A hardware architecture is presented to decode (N, K) polar codes based on a low-density parity-check code-like decoding method. By applying suitable pruning techniques to the dense graph of the polar code, the decoder architectures are optimized using fewer check nodes (CN) and variable nodes (VN). Pipelining is introduced in the CN and VN architectures, reducing the critical path delay. Latency is reduced further by a fully parallelized, single-stage architecture compared with the log N stages in the conventional belief propagation (BP) decoder. The designed decoder for short-to-intermediate code lengths was implemented using the Virtex-7 field-programmable gate array (FPGA). It achieved a throughput of 2.44 Gbps, which is four times and 1.4 times higher than those of the fast-simplified successive cancellation and combinational decoders, respectively. The proposed decoder for the (1024, 512) polar code yielded a negligible bit error rate of 10^-4 at 2.7 E_b/N_o (dB). It converged faster than the BP decoding scheme on a dense parity-check matrix. Moreover, the proposed decoder is also implemented using the Xilinx ultra-scale FPGA and verified with the fifth generation new radio physical downlink control channel specification. The superior error-correcting performance and better hardware efficiency makes our decoder a suitable alternative to the successive cancellation list decoders used in 5G wireless communication.

Messages are generally selected with the same probability in the encoding scheme of rateless codes for equal error protection. In addition, a belief propagation (BP) decoding scheme is generally used because of the low computational complexity. However, the probability of recovering a new message by BP decoding is reduced if both the recovered and unrecovered messages are selected uniformly. Thus, more codeword symbols than expected are required for the perfect recovery of message symbols. Therefore, a new encoding scheme with a nonuniform selection of messages is proposed in this paper. In addition, a BP-Gaussian elimination hybrid decoding scheme that complements the drawback of the BP decoding scheme is proposed. The performances of the proposed schemes are analyzed and compared with those of the conventional schemes.
