Abstract: Disclosed are a staircase matrix code and a highly parallel low-latency ordered statistics decoding (OSD) method thereof. The staircase matrix code may be divided into a staircase generator matrix code and a staircase parity-check matrix code, and a corresponding generator matrix or parity-check matrix thereof has a staircase structure, or has a staircase structure after row and column permutation. Based on the special staircase structure, special highly parallel low-latency OSD can be employed to decode the staircase matrix code. Specifically, at least one reliable bit is selected from bits corresponding to each staircase to constitute an extended reliable basis, then a corresponding generator matrix or parity-check matrix has an upper triangular or lower triangular structure. Under the special triangular structure, parallel Gaussian elimination of all rows can be implemented, and then re-encoding and the like are executed to complete decoding.
