The LDPC decoder is used for Forward Error Correction (FEC) in systems where transmitted data is subjected to errors before reception, e.g., communications systems, disk drives, and so on. LDPC Codes are part of recently invented ‘Iterative decoders’, which involves multiple iterations to improve the performance. Iterative decoder shows improved performance compared to legacy convolution codes.
LDPC codes outperform Convolution codes by 3-4 dB and are characterized by a ‘water-fall’ region in their SNR – BER curve. There is a SNR threshold after which BER decreases very rapidly. Hence, LDPC codes have found their place in most of the latest standards including Wi-Fi (802.11n, 802.11ac), Wi-Max (802.16e), DVB-S2, 3GPP-LTE Advanced.
