Abstract
This paper proposes new simplified sum-product (SSP) decoding algorithm to improve BER performance for low-density parity-check codes. The proposed SSP algorithm can replace multiplications and divisions with additions and subtractions without extra computations. In addition, the proposed SSP algorithm can simplify both the In[tanh(x)] and tanh-1 [exp(x)] by using two quantization tables which can reduce tremendous computational complexity. Moreover, the simulation results show that the proposed SSP algorithm can improve about $0.3\;{\sim}\;0.8\;dB$ of BER performance compared with the existing modified sum-product algorithms.
