This paper introduces a new kind of decoder structure for FPGA implementation of high-speed memory efficient quasi-cyclic LDPC (QC-LDPC) decoder. The code structure, algorithm and hardware structure all adopt optimization design. The decoder adopts modified Turbo decoding algorithm and achieves a decoding throughput of 223 Mbps and frame size of 3,200 bits. The Xilinx Virtex-4 chip used by the decoder only takes up 71 KB memory and makes it exceeds other decoders in aspects of throughput and memory for FPGA implementation.
