Abstract
A method is proposed for managing a parity-check node calculation unit of an error-correcting code decoder having a representation as a bipartite graph comprising at least one parity-check node, the parity-check node being configured to receive first and second input messages, and to produce an output message, the elements of the input and output messages of the parity-check node comprising a symbol and a measure of reliability associated with the symbol, the first and second input messages containing lists of elements ordered by their measure of reliability. The method comprises: initializing a plurality of nFIFO memories with elements calculated from combinations of elements of the first and second input messages, and iteratively determining the values of the output message.
