A method for determining the n best positions of frozen bits in a channel decoder for a noisy communication channel. A decoding method and decoding processing unit for implementing the channel having frozen bits at the n worst positions. A method and system that iteratively, for each bit i from the n bits, determines a probability vector for the bit i by traversing a logical graph using contraction identities simplified to specific values, indexes the specific values from the contraction identities newly computed during the determination of the probability vector for subsequent reference during a following iteration based on corresponding contraction identities, fixes the bit i from the probability vector and moving to bit i+1 until all n bits are fixed.
