Serial Symbol-Reliability Based Algorithm for Decoding Non-Binary LDPC Codes.

A symbol-reliability based decoding algorithm with serial schedule for non-binary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is presented. Performance results, together with implementation complexity analysis, are provided for different sample codes. The proposed algorithm achieves a similar gain to the min-max algorithm for codes with column weight dv ≥ 6, with lower complexity than previous symbol-reliability based algorithms.
