Abstract
This letter is concerned with low-complexity decoding algorithms for nonbinary low-density parity-check (NB-LDPC) codes. A new truncation rule based on an adaptive threshold μ is proposed for the extended min-sum (EMS) algorithm. The threshold μ is determined by the mean of the message vector. Therefore, it can be matched to channel observation and decoding iteration. The resulting algorithm is referred to as μ-EMS algorithm. Simulation results show that the μ-EMS algorithm performs almost as well as the Q-ary sum-product algorithm (QSPA). Simulation results also show that the μ-EMS algorithm is simpler than the other X-EMS algorithms for NB-LDPC over high order finite fields.
