Description

Method for reducing stack overflow probability of decoder of Fano algorithm
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and further relates to a method for reducing the stack overflow probability of a Fano algorithm decoder in the field of channel coding, which can be used for reducing the stack overflow probability of the Fano algorithm decoder and improving the decoding speed and the decoding stability of the convolutional code Fano algorithm decoding when the channel is poor.
Background
Convolutional codes, proposed by Elias et al in 1955, are a very promising coding method and have found widespread use. The convolutional code decoding method mainly adopts probability decoding. The probability decoding is divided into viterbi decoding and sequence decoding 2 categories.
Viterbi decoding is a maximum likelihood decoding algorithm, which is an optimal probabilistic decoding method. When the constraint length of the code is small, the method has the advantages of high speed, constant calculation amount and simple decoder. Since the introduction, the development has been extremely rapid both theoretically and practically, and the method is widely applied to various data transmission systems, especially satellite communication. However, the complexity of viterbi decoding of convolutional codes increases exponentially and thus cannot be applied to codes that are too large, thereby limiting the error rate of the output of the viterbi decoding to be too low, and thus limiting the applicability of the viterbi decoding method.
The sequence decoding is a quasi-maximum likelihood decoding algorithm, and the decoding complexity is irrelevant to the constraint length of the code, so that the application of a larger code becomes possible, and a lower error rate is obtained. The calculated amount of sequence decoding is changed with the channel interference, so that the average calculated amount is reduced and the decoding speed is accelerated.
The Fano algorithm was proposed by Fano in 1963, and is one of two major algorithms in sequence decoding. The basic principle of decoding is that observation points (branch nodes in the code tree graph) are continuously moved in the code tree graph, Fano metrics of all branches are obtained through comparison calculation of received code groups and code tree branches, the path with the minimum metric on the code tree is selected to advance, and the path with the minimum metric on the code tree is repeatedly searched through front and back detection and advancing and retreating through the total metric value of the path and the preset threshold value, so that an error path is eliminated as early as possible, and the path returns to the correct path as early as possible with the maximum correct probability, and the average calculation amount of a decoder is reduced. Another large algorithm for sequence decoding is the stack decoding algorithm. The Fano algorithm searches for more nodes than the stack decoding algorithm, but the stack decoding algorithm requires a very large amount of storage. In addition, the multi-level decision and nested loop of the Fano algorithm is well suited for hardware implementation.
The disadvantages of the Fano algorithm are: the decoder of the Fano algorithm requires an input buffer to store the received sequence of inputs, to store the later input sequence when the decoder searches for a split point, and to provide the previously received sequence. However, when the channel interference is large, the decoder search time is long, which may cause buffer overflow. Therefore, in the Fano algorithm, the decoding error probability is not a major problem, but the buffer overflow is a major problem.
In the article, "a new convolutional code decoding algorithm based on branch metric" (proceedings of Yunnan university (Nature science edition), 2010,32 (SI): 376-378), gentlewa et al proposed a threshold-adjustable sequence decoding algorithm to overcome the problem of buffer overflow. The algorithm uses the new branch metrics and adjusts the threshold level by transmitting a specific pilot sequence to estimate the noise level. This method has the disadvantage that it inserts pilots, reducing the information rate.

The specific idea for realizing the purpose of the invention is to increase the observation distance to screen out the optimal node so as to reduce the probability of the decoder entering the wrong path; the second is to determine the reliability of a specific point to modify its Fano metric to reduce the probability of the decoder leaving the correct path.

The effect of the present invention will be further explained by the simulation experiment of the present invention.
1. Simulation conditions are as follows:

G(D)=[1+D2+D3+D5+D6,1+D1+D2+D3+D6]

2. Simulation content:
the simulation experiment of the invention is to decode the convolution code respectively by using the method of the invention and the original Fano algorithm and carry out comparison in multiple aspects.
2.1, average access times comparison:
and (3) simulation results:
FIG. 4 is a graph of the mean number of accesses obtained in simulation, wherein the horizontal axis represents the signal-to-noise ratio Eb/N0In dB. The vertical axis is the average access times for decoding an encoded information block and searching for an access state. Fig. 4 shows a curve with triangular marks representing the average number of accesses to search for access states for decoding an encoded information block using the method proposed by the invention; the curve marked by a circle represents that the original Fano algorithm decodes an encoded information block and searches for the average access times of the access state.
And (3) simulation result analysis:
as can be seen from the simulation results of FIG. 4, the present invention is shown in SNR Eb/N0When the data is close to 0dB, the average access times of the method are less than 2500, and the average access times of the original Fano algorithm are more than 4000. And when the channel condition is good, the two are basically equal. This shows that, when the channel condition is poor, the invention can obviously reduce the average access times and improve the decoding speed compared with the original Fano algorithm.
2.2, comparing CCDF of searching access state times:
and (3) simulation results:
fig. 5 and 6 show a CCDF (Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function) curve obtained by simulation for decoding the number of search access states of an encoded information block, where the abscissa indicates the number of access, the ordinate indicates the probability, and the meaning of a point on the curve is that the probability that the number of search access of an encoded information block is greater than the abscissa indicates the value of the ordinate. The curves marked by triangles in the figure represent the CCDF curves using the method proposed by the present invention; the curve marked with a circle represents the CCDF curve of the original Fano algorithm. FIG. 5 shows the signal-to-noise ratio Eb/N0Is obtained under the condition of 0dB, and the signal-to-noise ratio E is shown in figure 6b/N0Is obtained under the condition of 0.5 dB.
And (3) simulation result analysis:
as can be seen from FIG. 5, at signal-to-noise ratio Eb/N0When the number of times of access is 0dB, the number of times of access of the original Fano algorithm exceeds 105Has a probability of about 1/250, whereas the probability of the present invention is less than 1/5000. As can be seen from FIG. 6, at signal-to-noise ratio Eb/N0At 0.5dB, the access times of the invention are 10 at a probability of 1/10004Magnitude, while the original Fano algorithm is at 105And magnitude, by about an order of magnitude. Since the CCDF is directly related to the stack overflow probability of decoding, it can be seen from fig. 5 and fig. 6 that the present invention can greatly reduce the probability of stack overflow during Fano decoding.
2.3, comparing the decoding bit error rate:
and (3) simulation results:
FIG. 7 is a simulated decoded bit error rate curve with signal-to-noise ratio E on the abscissab/N0The unit is dB, and the ordinate is the bit error rate. The curve marked by a triangle in fig. 7 represents the decoding bit error rate curve using the method proposed by the present invention; the curve marked by a circle represents the decoding bit error rate curve of the original Fano algorithm; the dashed line represents the theoretical bit error rate curve for uncoded BPSK.
As can be seen from the simulation result of FIG. 7, compared with the original Fano algorithm, the loss of the invention is about 0.3dB under the same bit error rate and lower signal-to-noise ratio; and when the signal-to-noise ratio is higher, the bit error rate curves of the two are superposed. It can be seen that the invention significantly improves the decoding speed and greatly reduces the probability of stack overflow with little bit error rate loss. The increased decoding speed makes it possible to apply longer constrained convolutional codes and thus achieve better performance.
The foregoing detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention has been presented. It should be understood that numerous modifications and variations could be devised by those skilled in the art in light of the present teachings without departing from the inventive concepts. Therefore, the technical solutions available to those skilled in the art through logic analysis, reasoning and limited experiments based on the prior art according to the concept of the present invention should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
