摘要:
A decoder for a receiver in a communication system includes an interface configured to receive encoded input data via a communication channel. The encoded input data includes forward error correction (FEC) codewords. A processor is configured to decode the FEC codewords using low density parity check (LDPC) codes defined by a parity check matrix. The parity check matrix is defined by both regular column partition (RCP) constraints and quasi-cyclic (QC) constraints. An output circuit is configured to output a decoded codeword based on the FEC codewords decoded by the processor.

A decoder performs forward error correction based on quasi-cyclic regular column-partition low density parity check codes. A method for designing the parity check matrix reduces the number of short-cycles of the matrix to increase performance. An adaptive quantization post-processing technique further improves performance by eliminating error floors associated with the decoding. A parallel decoder architecture performs iterative decoding using a parallel pipelined architecture.

In general, a minimum determination capability, adapted for determining one or more minimum values from a set of values, is provided. The minimum determination capability may enable, for a set of values, determination of a first minimum value representing a smallest value of the set of values and a second minimum value representing an approximation of a next-smallest value of the set of values. The minimum determination capability may enable, for a set of values where each of the values is represented as a respective set of bits at a respective set of bit positions, determination of a minimum value of the set of values based on a set of bitwise comparisons performed for the respective bit positions of the values.
