In order to reduce the performance loss of UMP BP-based decoding algorithm relative to LLR-BP decoding algorithm,an improved UMP BP-based decoding algorithm is proposed.When the check nodes process the message,the normalized BP-based decoding algorithm and offset BP-based decoding algorithm are integrated effectively by setting a correction factor and an offset factor reasonably.When the variable nodes process the message,an oscillation compensation algorithm based on LLR-BP decoding algorithm is introduced.Simulation results show that based on the irregular LDPC codes and under the condition of the same bit error rate within a certain range,the improved UMP BP-based decoding algorithm improves the decoding performance greatly compared with the three decoding algorithms which are based on UMP BP,normalized BP and offset BP decoding algorithms,respectively,and therefore quite efficiently approaches to the LLR-BP decoding algorithm which has excellent performance.
