Patent number: 11664824Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a method is provided for fast layered decoding for Low-density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes with a Parity-Check Matrix (PCM) that includes at least a first layer and a second layer. The method includes reading, from a memory, Variable Node (VN) soft information, wherein the VN soft information is associated with a message from a VN to a Check Node (CN) of the second layer of the PCM. A new CN to VN message is calculated from the CN of the second layer of the PCM. New VN soft information is calculated for the VN. The new VN soft information is calculated based on the VN soft information and a new CN to VN message from a CN of the first layer to the VN and an old CN to VN message from the CN of the first layer to the VN such that the updating of new VN soft information is delayed by at least one layer. The fast layered decoding has lower decoding latency and utilizes the decoding hardware more efficiently than standard layered decoding techniques.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2018Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Amirpasha Shirazinia, Mattias Andersson, Magnus Malmberg, Sara Sandberg
