Abstract

En 中文

A novel recursive list decoding (RLD) algorithm for Reed-Muller (RM) codes based on successive permutations (SP) of the codeword is presented. A low-complexity SP scheme applied to a subset of the symmetry group of RM codes is first proposed to carefully select a good codeword permutation on the fly. Then, the proposed SP technique is integrated into an improved RLD algorithm that initializes different decoding paths with random codeword permutations, which are sampled from the full symmetry group of RM codes. Finally, efficient latency and complexity reduction schemes are introduced that virtually preserve the error-correction performance of the proposed decoder. Simulation results demonstrate that at the target frame error rate of 10(-3) for the RM code of length 256 with 163 information bits, the proposed decoder reduces 6% of the computational complexity and 22% of the decoding latency of the state-of-the-art semi-parallel simplified successive-cancellation decoder with fast Hadamard transform (SSC-FHT) that uses 96 permutations from the full symmetry group of RM codes, while relatively maintaining the error-correction performance and memory consumption of the semi-parallel permuted SSC-FHT decoder.
