In order to meet the requirement of 5G ultra-large data throughput in an eMB scene, the Third Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP) confirms that a coding method of a 5G New air interface (New radio) data channel in the eMB scene is low-density parity check code (L ow-density parity-check, L DPC), and a coding method of a control channel is Polar code (Polar code). on the basis, a Quasi-Cyclic L DPC (Quasi-Cyclic DPC L DPC, QC-L) coding mode of L DPC is introduced into a data channel of 5G NR, and meanwhile, a QC-L structure is confirmed in a related standard of 3 GPP.
L DPC decoding algorithm can be divided into hard decision algorithm and soft decision algorithm according to decision mode, the hard decision algorithm is generally Bit Flipping (BF) algorithm and its improved algorithm, the hardware implementation of the algorithm is simple, but its decoding performance is weak, the soft decision algorithm is Belief Propagation (BP) algorithm based on Message Passing (MP) algorithm, which is the most primitive soft decision decoding algorithm of L DPC and has excellent decoding performance approaching to Shannon limit.
