Design and Implementation of Parallel Architectures Decoder for(3,6)LDPC Codes Based on FPGA ZHONG Yong-xin, DU Xing-min (The Engineering Institute,Air Force Engineering University,Xi’an 710038,China) Abstract:In this paper,a decoder for (3,6) regular LDPC codes with code rate of 1/2 and block length of 1008 bits has been implemented based on FPGA(StatixⅡ-EP2S30F484C3) of Altera. In compare with traditional sum-product algorithm,min-sum algorithm has close performance and reduces the complication of hardware.Parallel architectures solves the problem of long time delay in serial architectures effectively and can achieve a decoding rate of 50Mbps.It lays a good foundation for application of LDPC codes.
