LDPC codes and iterative decoding • Iterative coding schemes, such as turbo codes and LDPC codes, provide excellent performance/complexity tradeoff. • Iterative decoding can be naturally described using graph representations (Tanner graph (TG)). • For linear block codes: Check Nodes I II III 1 2 3 7 6 5 4 Variable Nodes
