Abstract
A method for decoding a Low Density Parity Check code. At each decoding iteration, as long as the syndrome of the estimated word indicates an error, a set ({tilde over (F)}) of the least reliable bits of the word is determined as those where the value of a local energy function ({tilde over (E)}) is less than a threshold value. The local energy value of a bit includes a first component proportional to the correlation between this bit and a sample corresponding to the observed signal, a second component representing the number of non-satisfied constraints wherein the bit acts, and a third component decreasing with the number () of iterations made since the last flipping of this bit. The bits of the estimated word belonging to this set are flipped, where applicable with a predetermined probability, to provide a new estimated word at the following iteration.
