In DVB-S3 standard of satellite broadcasting systems, FTN technique is applied to LDPC codes with (1+7) PSK modulation. In standard, BICM-ID and BCJR decoding method are considered to alleviate performance degradation due to FTN processing. BICM-ID method improves performance by calculating a new LLR from hard-decision value of decoder output. BCJR also improves performance by calculating forward and backward matrix each other. However these two methods require high computational complexity. Therefore this paper proposed modified decoding method in order to reduce computational complexity without performance degradation.
