A lazy serial layered scheduling algorithm based on variable-node belief degree is employed, and the algorithm is realized based on an FPGA platform. Specifically, according to the decoding algorithm, in a serial layered scheduling algorithm execution process, if the belief degree of all variable nodes adjacent to certain check function node is very reliable, the check function node is set as a lazy node and does not participate in a follow-up iterative decoding process, so the complexity of the LDPC code decoding algorithm is reduced, and the time delay and power consumption of a decoder are reduced. For the LDPC decoders in WiMAX and DVB-S2, according to the algorithm, the time delay and power consumption can be reduced by 13.9%-36.4%.
