Abstract
Abstract The residual belief propagation (RBP) algorithm, which is the most classic informed dynamic scheduling strategy, achieves outstanding performance in error correction and can drastically accelerate convergence speed. However, the greedy algorithmic property of this iterative decoding will inevitably cause loss of decoding performance. To address this, a novel algorithm called the partial average bundle residual belief propagation (PABRBP) is proposed in this paper. According to the construction characteristics of a base matrix of protograph‐LDPC codes, informed dynamic scheduling (IDS) strategies are applied to an edge bundle of base matrices for the first time. This edge bundle of the base matrix can be applied to a corresponding cyclic permutation matrix. Furthermore, the update level of each bundle is determined by the value of the Partially Average Bundle Residual (PABR). Therefore, the edge message with the maximum residual in each bundle is updated in order, and the process of iterative decoding is less likely to become trapped in a local optimum. Additionally, the generation of silent nodes is reduced as much as possible. To further improve the PABRBP decoding performance for medium and long codes over the fading channel, the adjusted compensation term is periodically introduced. Analysis and simulation results show that PABRBP demonstrates a notable convergence quality and decoding performance improvement over the fading channels compared to existing state‐of‐art IDS algorithms.
