Abstract
Two decoding schedules and the corresponding serialized
architectures for low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoders are
presented. They are applied to codes with parity-check matrices
generated either randomly or using geometric properties of elements in
Galois fields. Both decoding schedules have low computational
requirements. The original concurrent decoding schedule has a large
storage requirement that is dependent on the total number of edges in
the underlying bipartite graph, while a new, staggered decoding schedule
which uses an approximation of the belief propagation, has a reduced
memory requirement that is dependent only on the number of bits in the
block. The performance of these decoding schedules is evaluated through
simulations on a magnetic recording channel
