OPERATING METHOD APPLIED TO LOW DENSITY PARITY CHECK (LDPC) DECODER AND CIRCUIT THEREOF

Abstract

An operating method applied to low density parity check (LDPC) decoders and the circuit thereof are proposed, in which original bit nodes are incorporated into check nodes for simultaneous operation. The bit node messages are generated according to the different between the newly generated check messages and the previously check node messages. The bit node messages can be updated immediately, and the decoder throughput can be improved. In the other way, the required memory of LDPC decoders can be effectively reduced, and the decoding speed can also be enhanced.
