Abstract

Offset min-sum algorithm (OMSA) and normalized min-sum algorithm (NMSA) are widely used in commercial LDPC decoders due to low complexity and reasonable performance. In this paper, we provide optimized offset and scaling values for those LDPC decoders based on Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 LDPC codes. Furthermore, according to extensive computer simulations, it is shown that the performance of the OMSA and NMSA with the obtained values is close to that of sum-product algorithm, even though the NMSA-based decoder may show a serious error floor due to a channel mismatch effect. Consequently, we recommend that the ATSC 3.0 transmitters use a concatenation of BCH outer code and LDPC inner code as channel coding, considering the use of NMSA for LDPC decoder in ATSC 3.0 receivers.
