Abstract:

An FPGA implementation scheme for the OSD serially concatenated decoding algorithms is proposed for LDPC codes with short or moderate code length.Our scheme implements the GF(2) Gaussian elimination used in OSD algorithm based on the block RAM resource of the FPGA chip,which avoids the large quantity of logic resource demand for the conventional implementation of GF(2) Gaussian elimination.Implementation result shows that the concatenated decoder with 500 kbit·s-1 throughput can be achieved on middle and low grade FPGA using this scheme.
