TLDR
Simulation results show that the VFAP-BP algorithm outperforms the standard BP algorithm, and requires a significantly smaller number of iterations when decoding either general or commercial LDPC codes.
Abstract
In this paper we propose a novel message passing algorithm which exploits the existence of short cycles to obtain performance gains by reweighting the factor graph. The proposed decoding algorithm is called variable factor appearance probability belief propagation (VFAP-BP) algorithm and is suitable for wireless communications applications with low-latency and short blocks. Simulation results show that the VFAP-BP algorithm outperforms the standard BP algorithm, and requires a significantly smaller number of iterations when decoding either general or commercial LDPC codes.

Knowledge-aided informed dynamic scheduling for LDPC decoding

TL;DR: A novel informed dynamic scheduling (IDS) approach for decoding LDPC codes is developed based on the use of the current message reliabilities and the residuals of the potential updates to select the messages passed in the graph during iterative Sum Product decoding.

An exponential factor appearance probability belief propagation algorithm for regular and irregular LDPC codes

TL;DR: A modified version of the belief propagation algorithm for regular and irregular LDPC codes with two new features, one in the strategy for reweighting check nodes in tanner graph and another for exploiting the existence of short cycles with an exponential function for the determination of the factor appearance probability.

Selective avoidance of cycles in irregular LDPC code construction

TL;DR: A Viterbi-like algorithm is proposed that selectively avoids small cycle clusters that are isolated from the rest of the graph and yields codes with error floors that are orders of magnitude below those of random codes with very small degradation in capacity-approaching capability.
