With a total of 2 patents to his name, Gaudet's work has advanced the understanding and implementation of low-density parity-check codes.
Latest Patents
One of Gaudet's latest patents is titled "Decoder for low-density parity-check convolutional codes." This invention involves a decoder designed for arbitrary length blocks of low-density parity-check codes. It features a plurality of interconnected processors that include nodes, with a memory system to store intermediate log likelihood ratio (LLR) values based on channel LLR values. The design allows for successively improved accuracy in outputting LLR values, which can ultimately be used to make decisions about information bits. Additionally, the memory can be a random access memory (RAM) device, and a read-only memory (ROM) device can be utilized to generate addresses for reading and writing LLR values.
Another significant patent is the "Method and apparatus for digit-serial communications for iterative digital processing algorithms." This invention provides an architecture and method for decoding codewords for codes such as low-density parity-check codes. It employs an iterative decoding algorithm, specifically the Belief Propagation Algorithm (BPA), to correct errors in input blocks of symbols. The process involves message passing and node processing in a digit-serial manner, enhancing the efficiency of the decoding process.
