Detailed Description

LDPC bit flip decoding class.

A hard decision bit flip decoder class for decoding low density parity check (LDPC) codes. The decoder requires knowledge of the matrix used to create (encode) the codewords. The simple algorithm is:

1. Compute parity checks on all of the bits.
2. Flip the bit(s) associated with the most failed parity checks.
3. Check to see if new word is valid. ( is a codeword if and only if .) If it is not valid, go back to step 1.
4. Repeat until valid codeword is found or the maximum number of iterations is reached.

Member Function Documentation

static generic_decoder::sptr gr::fec::code::ldpc_bit_flip_decoder::make ( const fec_mtrx_sptr  mtrx_obj, unsigned int  max_iter = 100  )

static

Build a bit flip decoding FEC API object.

Parameters

mtrx_obj	The LDPC parity check matrix to use for decoding. This should be the same matrix used for encoding. Provide either a ldpc_H_matrix or a ldpc_G_matrix object.
max_iter	Maximum number of iterations to complete during the decoding algorithm. The default is 100 because this seemed to be sufficient during testing. May be increased for possibly better performance, but may slow things down.

virtual double gr::fec::code::ldpc_bit_flip_decoder::rate ( )

pure virtual

Returns the coding rate of this decoder.

Implements gr::fec::generic_decoder.

virtual bool gr::fec::code::ldpc_bit_flip_decoder::set_frame_size ( unsigned int  frame_size )

pure virtual

Sets the uncoded frame size to frame_size.

Sets the uncoded frame size to frame_size. If frame_size is greater than the value given to the constructor, the frame size will be capped by that initial value and this function will return false. Otherwise, it returns true.

Implements gr::fec::generic_decoder.
