    Multiple LDPC Decoding Method and Device Based on Code Element Reliability Dominance Nodes Subset Partition Criterion Technical Field The invention belongs to the field of channel coding, and in particular relates to a multiple LDPC decoding method based on the code element reliability dominance node subset partition criterion.
    Background Techniques Because of its better decoding performance than binary LDPC codes and its inherent advantages in high-order modulation channels, multiple LDPC codes have attracted much attention from researchers in the field of channel coding.
    The multiple LDPC codes were originally proposed by Davey and MacKay.
    They proposed a kind of LDPC codes defined on a finite domain GF (q), and a decoding method accordingly applicable to this kind of multiple LDPC codes, commonly known as Q-ary sum-product algorithm (QSPA). Multiple LDPC codes have better performance in the field of medium and short code length because they can avoid error layering, but the direct computation of QSPA algorithm is very complicated, which makes it difficult for LDPC codes to be applied in practice.
    In order to reduce the computational complexity of multiple LDPC codes, Declercq et al. proposed an extended min-sum (EMS) algorithm in 2007, which reduces the computation of check nodes by truncating the information vectors from the input to the check nodes.
    In 2012, Ma et al. redescribed the EMS algorithm (called M-EMS algorithm) with the help of Trellis graph, and proposed two improved algorithms of M-EMS algorithm, known as T-EMS algorithm and D-EMS algorithm.
    In 2013, Zhao et al. proposed a uEMS algorithm.
    These algorithms reduce the computational complexity all by using truncation criteria to reduce the length of the vectors involved in check nodes updating calculations.
    In addition, partitioning non-processing subsets of nodes is also an effective way to reduce the computational complexity of the algorithm, the works related including an improved information transfer decoding algorithm proposed by Han et al. in 2013 and a reliability iterative proportional logic decoding algorithm based on adaptive decision mechanism proposed by Sun et al. in 2015. In 2017, Sun Youming et al. proposed a multiple LDPC algorithm 1 which combined the two truncation mechanisms of nodes subset and k-order information truncation. The algorithm proposed a new node subset partition criterion, which uses the reliability of the decision symbols of the variable nodes adjacent to the check nodes to partition the check nodes subsets. It remains to be studied how to define the subset threshold and how to partition the subsets.

    Considering a multiple LDPC code ¢ =[nk] in a fimte field F, ( g=2"), set v=(v, 1 v, Je Fas a codeword in which any code symbol can be represented by a binary vector v=(v vv of one bit, so for BPSK modulation, the codeword v can be mapped to a bipolar sequence: va aa) (1) When Osis<n-L0s<js<{-1, the relationship between the sequence and the codeword isx =1-2v" Then, the channel received value sequence of the bipolar sequence interfered by noise through the channel transfer is as follows: vs ee] (2) For a given channel received value y in step S1, the value of the initialization information can be computed in the following manner: First computing the likelihood information R,.

Setting quantized interval A >0 and quantized bit number 5>1 as two parameters that need to be designed, the likelihood information of the logarithmic domain can be quantified into integer information according to the following rules with these two parameters. It 1s important to note that during the quantization process, 2°A should be large enough to ensure that the channel received values can be included more: 2" -D.R. /A<2"-]) LE (5) =1[R; (s)/AL|R,. (5)/A <2 1 (4) Q°-D,R‚(s)/Az2°-1 In the formula, [x] stands for a rounding operation, representing the integer nearest tox is obtained.
    In step S3, updating the check nodes in the processing subset of the check nodes A according to the result of the check nodes partition, computing the external information Ly (a) and truncating the information; In this embodiment, the check nodes are partitioned based on the criterion of subset partition of check nodes based on reliability dominance. 10
    For check node C;, the constraint condition that it represents is that the sum of all the variables represented by the edges adjacent to the No.7 check node must be zero. Set fy [i el je N} as the decision code element sets of the variable nodes connected with the check nodes C, when the No./ iteration is updated, and these code element sets participate in the checksum calculation of the Noi check equation: c= > h, 90 (5) Je In one iteration, the checksum exists in two cases: 1) The checksum does not satisfy the constraint condition of the check nodes, that is to sayc,= » h 0" =0, it means there is an error code element in the decision code set which jel; participates in the checksum calculation, so in the next iterative update, information update is needed for the check nodes.
    2) When the checksum occurs c‚= > 4, -¥!"=0, there are also two kinds of cases existed in the JEN, decision code element set: (a) all the decision code element symbols in fy [i el je N} are correct symbols; (b) there are two or more error symbols in the decision code element symbol set, which can also make the checksum being zero. In the case of (a), since all the decision code elements are correct code symbols, the check nodes may not need to update the information when the next iteration is updated; in the case of (b), because of an error exists in the decision symbols, it is necessary to update the information of the check nodes at the next iteration.
    In order to distinguish which case occurs when the checksum occurs c‚= > 4, =, this paper proposes a novel criterion for the subset partition of check nodes based on the code element reliability dominance to partition the check nodes that satisfy the checksum.
    Firstly, the definition of reliability dominance of variable node decision code elements is given: ad, =max{Z, (9)} max” {r, ( s)} sek (6) In the formula, max’ represents the submaximum in vector ZL, (s).
    For a variable node, the reliability dominance of code elements means the degree of dominance in possibility of the code element symbol with the highest reliability degree compared to the code element symbol with the second highest reliability degree.
    Based on the check node subset partition criterion proposed by the invention, the check nodes of the checksum ¢ => 4, 9-0 is partitioned into processing/non-processing nodes, in which a jeN,
    I common feature of the non-processing nodes is that: the reliability dominance of the decision code elements of the variable nodes adjacent to the check nodes is large enough, that is, compared with other symbols, this finite field symbol is more likely to be used as the correct decision decoding result.
    Supposing mi’ represents the tag of the No; variable node in the No./ iterative decoding, if the code element reliability dominance of the variable node exceeds a threshold value 7, then the variable node is considered to be reliable enough, and is tagged as 0; otherwise, the variable nodes is tagged as 1, that is: 0 fo. ad, 2, | VL ad, <T, (7) therein 0x j<n-1, the threshold value I is determined by the following formula: T= san | (8) ni In the formula, & 1s a correction factor, which is determined by simulation. Assume that A" is a set of all check nodes, MY cM! is a set of check nodes of which the information needs to be updated in the No./ iteration, and that the check nodes that are partitioned tothe set M are determined by the following formula: Ta M! ={e J ule |Z 22e of (9) AEN, therein, 0<i<m-1. At this point, all the check nodes are partitioned into two subsets, in which the node subset that does not need to be updated in the No./ iterative decoding is MM) M©.

For M-EMS algorithm, the basis of partition is as follows: Fe = SF, Luis oneoftheMmasvaluss § (10) According to subset 7, , the information truncation criterion for vector I, (s).seF, can be defined as follows: - L.(s}—-L,.if seF, b +) - i! on : ( 1) therein, I, = min /,.

    First, we define the following two vectors, = (eo, (0).a, (1)..« (g-1)) and g =(4(0), 5 (1). 8 (¢-1)) as the forward iteration vector and the backward iteration vector, respectively.

The row weight and column weight of this matrix are respectively + = +d =2 The decoding performance of the algorithm is measured by bit error rate (BER), and in order to compare the computational complexity of each decoding algorithm crosswise, it is measured by using the ratio of the total number of check nodes (complexity ratio) of information update in different algorithms compared with the M-EMS algorithm without partition of subsets: pe (20) Experiment 1: The regular multiple LDPC codes defined in finite field F,, with the parameters of the check matrix m=44,n=88 In the present invention, we consider comparing the performance and computational complexity of M-EMS algorithm without using node subset partition criteria, M-EMS algorithm adopting existing subset partition criteria (abbreviated as kM-EMS), and M-EMS algorithm adopting the node partition criterion based on code element reliability dominance provided in this paper (abbreviated as advM-EMS) under different SNR. For the M-EMS algorithm, set its parameter as 4/=32; for the kM-EMS algorithm, the parameters are given as 4/=32 and 7,=150; and for the advM-EMS algorithm, the correction factor is 3=0.9. For all decoding algorithms, the relevant parameters are set as £=09.b=8A=1/64.
    Figure 3 shows the bit error rate (BER) of various algorithms in different channel SNR environments. As we can see from the figure, the advM-EMS algorithm adopting the node partition criterion provided in the present invention is of better error correction performance than the check node subset partition criterion proposed by the kM-EMS algorithm under all SNR conditions, at the 14 same time, comparing with the M-EMS algorithm without using node subset partition criteria, its performance lost about 0.4dB.
    According to the complexity ratio of various algorithms shown in Figure 4, compared with M-EMS algorithm, the complexity ratio of advM-EMS algorithm is only about 0.7 when the SNR is E/N,=1/22/2.6/3.0(dB).
