초록

본 논문에서는 NM(node monitoring) 알고리듬과 NP(Piecewise Linear Function Approximation)를 사용해서 LDPC 코드 복호의 복잡도를 감소시키기 위한 효율적인 알고리듬을 제안한다. 이 NM 알고리듬은 새로운 node-threshold 방법과 message passing 알고리듬에 근거해서 제안되었는데, 이에 NP 방법을 사용해서 알고리듬의 복잡도를 더 줄일 수 있었다. 이 알고리듬의 효율성을 입증하기 위해서 모의 실험을 하였다. 모의실험결과, 기존에 잘 알려진 방법에 비해서 20% 정도 더 효율적이었다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for reducing the complexity of LDPC code decoding by using node monitoring (NM) and Piecewise Linear Function Approximation (NP). This NM algorithm is based on a new node-threshold method, and the message passing algorithm. Piecewise linear function approximation is used to reduce the complexity for more. This algorithm was simulated in order to verify its efficiency. Simulation results show that the complexity of our NM algorithm is reduced to about 20%, compared with thoes of well-known method.
