Abstract
Min sum algorithm (MSA) is widely used for decoding Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes in many modern Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) as a simplification for Sum Product Algorithm (SPA) which greatly reduce the implementation complexity. This paper presents a design of modified variable scaling min sum LDPC decoding algorithm for DVB-S2/S2X/T2. The proposed design is a combination between the variable Normalized Min Sum Algorithm (NMSA) and the Offset Min Sum Algorithm (OMSA) which provides a trade-off between decoding complexity and error correcting performance. It improves the use of the Min Sum Algorithm (MSA) by 39%. A proposal for how to implement the proposed algorithm using FPGA is also introduced. The structure used is partially parallel layered decoder architecture.
