Reliability Adjustment Weighted Bit-Flipping Decoding for Low-Density Parity-Check Codes

In this paper, we propose reliability adjustment weighted bit-flipping (RA-WBF) decoding algorithm for low density parity-check (LDPC) codes. By adjusting the reliability of received symbols during iterative decoding, the proposed algorithm can offer better tradeoff between performance, convergence speed and computational complexity. Furthermore, this improvement can easily be extended to other variations of weighted bit-flipping decoding algorithm and obtain noticeable improvement in error performance. Simulation results are shown to verify our conclusions.
