Abstract

In this paper, a hybrid decoding scheme is proposed to lower the error floor of low-density parity-check codes. With the observation that some error bits' LLR values oscillate throughout iterative decoding procedure, a feedback BP (FBP) decoding algorithm is presented as second-stage decoding cell to reduce the phenomena of oscillations. The hybrid decoding scheme, which consists LLR-BP decoding algorithm and FBP decoding algorithm, detects errors in the codewords obtained by using the parity check equations of LDPC codes. Simulation results show that the new decoding scheme exhibits a lower error floor than that of belief propagation decoding algorithm in the moderate and high SNR region.
