Abstract
In this paper, we presented non-uniform quantization method for LDPC decoder specified in DVB-S2 standard. There are some problems in order to implement LDPC decoder in aspect to algorithm and implementation. In algorithm aspect, because of large number of iterations, LDPC decoding in general give rise to a large number of computation operations, mass power consumption, and decoding delay. Therefore, this paper studies Horizontal Shuffle Scheduling (HSS) algorithm which reduced iteration number without performance loss. In aspect of implementation, there are some solutions to improve the decoding speed, however this paper focused on non-uniform quantization which reduce the quantization bits of LDPC decoder. In simulation results, Decoding throughput of HSS LDPC decoder based on non-uniform quantization is 816Mbps and it improved 12% compared to conventional one.
