Abstract

In this paper we develop an algorithm for decoding low-density parity-check (LDPC) code that improve performance and reduce latency time. This algorithm is called Variable Factor Appearance Probability Min Sum (VFAP-MS) and is inspired from the Variable Factor Appearance Probability Belief Propagation (VFAP-BP) algorithm. The presented algorithm exploit the existence of short cycles in the code and strategy for reweighting check nodes, and is suitable for wireless communications applications. Simulation results show that the VFAP-MS algorithm outperforms the standard MS described in the literature.
