H-ARQ 시스템에서 LDPC 부호의반복 복호 중단 기법

초록

By using inherent stopping criteria of LDPC codes, the average number of iterations can be substantially reduced at high signal to noise ratio (SNR). However, we encounter a problem when hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) systems are applied. Frequent failures of decoding at low SNR region imply that the decoder reaches the maximum number of iterations frequently and thus the decoding complexity increases. In this paper, we propose a combination of stopping criteria using the syndrome weight of tentative codeword. By numerical analysis, it is shown that the decoding complexity of given H-ARQ system is reduced by 70-80% with the proposed algorithms.
