A block code decoding method and device thereof are provided. The procedure of the bounded distance decoding is simplified and the number of correlation calculating is reduced via a set of pre-established XOR masks. The decoding method includes: picking up the source code part of the received message; executing a XOR calculating for the source code part with the XOR masks, and encoding the results thereof to produce a set of compared codes; executing a correlation calculating for the set of compared codes and the received message; and determining a compared code having the maximum correlation result as the decision.

Block code decoding method and device thereof

A parity-check-code decoder is adapted for receiving a channel quality ratio and at least (N) bits that are to be decoded. The parity-check-code decoder treats each of the bits as a bit node, and includes: a verifying circuit that multiplies (N) bit nodes by a matrix to obtain (N-K) check nodes; a reliability-generating circuit that generates a reliability index that serves as an extrinsic check index for each of the bit nodes to transmit to the check nodes; a bit exchange circuit that generates an extrinsic bit index for each of the check nodes to transmit to the bit nodes; a check-exchange circuit that updates a plurality of the extrinsic check indices based on the extrinsic bit indices for the bit nodes to transmit to the check nodes; and a reliability-updating circuit that updates the reliability index of and determines an updated value for each of the bit nodes.

A parity-check-code decoder includes: a verifying device that multiplies (N) bit nodes by a matrix provided with (N) columns so as to obtain a plurality of check nodes; a reliability generator that generates a reliability index for each of the bit nodes in accordance with a channel; a reliability-updating device that uses the bit nodes and the check nodes to exchange message iteratively, and following each iteration, updates (N) exchange results corresponding to the (N) columns; and a recording controller that includes a separator, a quantizing determiner and a quantizer. The separator divides the matrix into at least one column group based on the characterizing signals. The quantizing determiner determines a shift signal for each column group based on the characterizing signals. The quantizer quantizes the characterizing signals according to the shift signals for subsequent output.
