This paper presents a high-speed "turbolike" decoding algorithm for certain structured LDPC codes such as those adopted in IEEE 802.16e and in the draft 802.11n standards. It is shown that after a key modification, such LDPC codes may be processed as Generalized Repeat Accumulate codes, codes which are known to support "turbo-like" decoding. A GRA-like encoder of structured LDPC codes is derived, which in turn leads to the decoding algorithm. It is also shown that the "structured" properties result in an inherent parallelism, leading to an efficient high speed decoder implementation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
