Abstract: Disclosed is an implementation method for simplifying a complicated message-passing function in a decoder for decoding block codes encoded with low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and only using a summator and a shifter to simplify the hardware structure of the decoder, in which method the input interval of the message-passing function for binary representation of a message input is divided and the respective divided intervals are linearized to allow the calculation of the output of the message-passing function without using a memory. Based on the fact that the message-passing function is similar in structure to an exponential function, the linearized intervals are set to make the maximum value expressible in each digit of the binary representation as the boundary of the intervals.

Abstract: Disclosed is an adaptive transmit and receive method and device in a multiple-antenna wireless communication system. A transmit mode comprises different main transmit modes each of which includes one or both of a sub-transmit mode based on STBC and a sub-transmit mode based on SM. A receiver calculates an STBC performance parameter and a SM performance parameter, and a transmitter uses the parameters to determine a main transmit mode with maximum data rates and select a sub-transmit mode for minimizing power consumption. The transmitter channel-encodes, modulates and antenna-maps input data according to the selected transmit mode, and outputs results to the receiver. The receiver antenna/symbol-demodulates and channel-decodes the received data.

Abstract: Dislosed is an apparatus and method for erasure detection and soft-decision decoding in a cellular system receiver. In the present invention, a complex channel gain and a noise variance of a received symbol from a cellular system transmitter are estimated, and an erasure symbol (a symbol with high power interference) is detected by comparing a threshold value according to the estimated complex channel gain or noise variance with power of the received symbol. Log-likelihood ratios corresponding to constituent bits of the detected erasure symbols are allowed to be 0, and the log-likelihood ratios of the constituent bits of the other received symbols are calculated. A soft-decision decoding operation of received bits is performed with the calculated log-likelihood ratios.
