Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to an iterative decoding method of the message-passing type for decoding an error correcting code susceptible of representation by a bipartite graph including a plurality of variable nodes and a plurality of control nodes, said messages being expressed in terms of a log likelihood ratio. At each iteration of a plurality of decoding iterations, for each pair consisting of a variable node and a control node, a change is detected in the sign of the extrinsic information intended to be transmitted (αmntemp) as a message by said variable node to said control node relative to that transmitted (αmn) at the previous iteration, and in the event of a sign change, said extrinsic information is subjected to an amplitude reduction operation (Fred) before it is transmitted to the control node.
