Embodiment Construction

[0054] Embodiments in accordance with the present invention overcome the problems associated with architecture-aware PCM while maintaining the same error correction capability as when utilizing random PCM. These embodiments may enable a semi-parallel decoder architecture to achieve an average decoding throughput of about 1 Gbit / s.

[0055] Embodiments according to the invention incorporate an architecture-aware block structure PCM. These PCMs, suitable for implementation in area efficient semi-parallel LDPC decoders, support high decoding throughput (eg, higher than 1 Gbit / s) without lacking error correction capabilities. PCM can incorporate several architecture-aware constraints: such as: minimum size of subblock matrix (e.g., shifted identity matrix), finite set of shift values ​​for area-optimized decoder design, per Columns of odd / even non-zero blocks distributed equally across layers, and an upper triangular structure for the redundant part of the linear encoding (e.g., ...

Abstract

The invention relates to low density parity check decoding. A method for decoding an encoded data block is described. Encoded data block comprising data sub-blocks are stored. Decoding is performed in a pipelined manner using an irregular, block- structured parity check matrix, where at least two data sub-block matrices of the parity check matrix are read from and written in each of a plurality of clock cycles. The reading and writing of the data sub-blocks is evenly distributed between at least two area of a memory. The decoding is performed with shift values which eliminate cycles at or below a predetermined threshold length. An apparatus, computer program product and device are also described.
