Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus for layered low density parity check decoding includes a variable node processor and a check node processor. The variable node processor is operable to generate variable node to check node messages and to calculate perceived data values based on check node to variable node messages. The check node processor includes an intermediate message generator circuit operable to generate intermediate check node messages, a shift register based memory operable to store the intermediate check node messages, and at least one check node to variable node message generator circuit operable to generate the check node to variable node messages based on the intermediate check node messages from the shift register based memory.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for layered low density parity check decoding comprising: a variable node processor operable to generate variable node to check node messages and to calculate perceived data values based on check node to variable node messages; and a check node processor comprising an intermediate message generator circuit operable to generate intermediate check node messages comprising a minimum, a next minimum and an index of minimum value in the variable no…
