The invention belongs to the technical field of
wireless communication and relates to an iterative decoding device of an RS (Reed-solomon) cascading grid modulation code and a decoding method thereof. The device comprises a quantification unit, a ping-pong soft value read-write cache unit, a soft input
Viterbi decoder, a state
record unit, a deinterleaver, an RS decoder, a decoding state
treatment unit, an interleaver and a soft value modification unit, wherein the ping-pong soft value read-write cache unit comprises a ping chamber soft value read-write cache
subunit and a pong chamber soft value read-write cache
subunit, receives a symbol soft value sent by the quantification unit, carries out Viterbi decoding on the symbol soft value and carries out deinterleave and RS decoding on the symbol soft value after decoding; and when part of decoding has errors, decoding information and mark information are fed back to the soft value modification unit after interleave, a soft value is modified based on the size of the corresponding symbol soft value, and next iteration is carried out until decoding is right. The invention has the advantages of little hardware
resource consumption, low method complexity and high iteration
gain and is more suitable for realizing hardware.
