摘要:

空间耦合低密度奇偶校验码采用滑动窗口译码能够以较小的译码延迟获得较好的译码性能。为进一步提高其滑窗译码性能,提出一种窗口扩展改进方案。与传统的滑窗译码相比,该方案的窗口大小可以根据目标符号的平均对数似然比而变化。在当前窗口的迭代译码过程中,若目标符号的平均对数似然比小于预设阈值,则译码窗口大小加1后重新进行迭代,重复此过程,直至目标符号满足阈值条件或达到窗口大小的最大值,然后在新的窗口大小下译码目标符号。该方案可以在译码性能、复杂度和延迟之间进行折中权衡。在加性高斯白噪声信道下的仿真结果表明,该方案可以显著提高空间耦合低密度奇偶校验码的滑窗译码性能。

Abstract:

Spatially coupled low density parity check (SC-LDPC) codes can achieve a better decoding performance with a small message recovery latency due to the sliding window decoding. An improved decoding scheme based on window extension is proposed for further enhancing the performance of the sliding window decoding. In contrast to conventional sliding window decoding, the window size of this scheme can vary according to the average logarithmic likelihood ratio (LLR) value of the target symbol. Specifically, for every iteration in the decoding process, we compare the average LLR value of the target symbol with the preset threshold. If the average LLR value of the target symbol is less than the preset threshold and the current window size does not exceed the maximum size, the decoding window size adds one and then performs a new iteration with the new window size. By this means, the scheme can achieve trade-off between decoding performance, complexity and latency. Simulation results on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel show that this scheme can significantly improve the sliding window decoding performance of SC-LDPC codes.

Key words: spatially coupled low density parity check codes, sliding window decoding, window extension
