Abstract

A method is disclosed for performing LDPC decoding, specifically layered min-sum decoding using a Tanner graph including check nodes (CN) and variable nodes (VN). Messages passed between nodes are quantized in a non-uniform manner. Values below a threshold are uniformly quantized whereas values above the threshold are non-uniformly quantized. A corresponding inverse-quantization is also defined.
