Abstract

In this paper, we first propose a parallel turbo-sum-product (PTSP) decoding algorithm for quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check codes, and show that our proposed algorithm achieves better error performance and faster convergence than the sum-product (SP) or overlapped SP (OSP) algorithm. Based on our PTSP algorithm, we then propose a partly parallel decoder architecture, which requires smaller memory size, less memory access and power consumption, and simpler control than decoder architectures based on the OSP algorithm.
