Title
Multiple-Votes Parallel Symbol-Flipping Decoding Algorithm for Non-Binary LDPC Codes
Abstract
A novel decoding algorithm for non-binary low density parity check (NB-LDPC) codes is proposed. The algorithm builds on the recently designed parallel symbol-flipping decoding (PSFD) algorithm and combines a technique of error estimation and a method of multiple voting levels from each unsatisfied check-sum to the corresponding variable nodes. Simulations results, performed on a number of NB-LDPC codes of various lengths and column weights constructed using several methods, show that the new algorithm not only avoids using code-dependent voting threshold but also improves the error rate performance of the PSFD algorithm, particularly for low column weight parity-check matrices.
