Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for a novel LDPC decoder. An architecture is described to implement a novel sequence of bit node processing (BNP) and check node processing (CNP) operations. More specifically, the BNP may be split into two parts: a BNP accumulator and a BNP extrinsic information calculator. This separation of processing modules may provide for fewer read and write operations to and from edge memory.
