Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A layered LDPC decoder architecture includes a single MUX and a single shifter element for processing an optimized LDPC parity check matrix. The optimized LDPC parity check matrix may be a K×L sub-matrix having zero elements, non-zero elements defined by a circulant matrix or zero matrices, and identity matrixes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for decoding a LDPC encoded signal in a layered architecture, comprising: bit-shifting, with a computer processor, a first signal based on a delta shift value; selecting, with a computer processor, a signal from the bit-shifted first signal and a second combined signal, wherein the second combined signal is a combination of at least two signals; and storing the selected signal in a ping-pong memory designated for storing some combination of P ty…
