    Abstract: A decoding method for an iterative message-passing based decoder, such as a low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoder, includes calculating syndrome information for a received word, and initializing variable nodes based on the received word. Each received bit of the received word may be represented by a Likelihood-Ratio (LR) or Log-Likelihood-Ratio (LLR) at a respective variable node. Further, the method includes iteratively updating check nodes, and updating the LRs of variable nodes using the syndrome information, determining an error vector from the LRs of the variable nodes, and determining a transmitted word, corresponding to the received word, by subtracting the error vector from the received word. The syndrome information is calculated based upon a parity check matrix.
