Improving the Belief-Propagation Convergence of Irregular LDPC Codes Using Column-Weight Based Scheduling

In this letter, a novel scheduling scheme for decoding irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) code, based on the column weight of variable nodes in the code graph, is introduced. In this scheme, the irregular LDPC code is decoded using the shuffled belief-propagation (BP) algorithm by selecti...
