Abstract
A margin decoding communications system includes a circuit receiving a message encoded by an iterative code and processing the message into scores. A normalization process module receives the scores and iteratively approximates log-map normalization factors of the scores to generate approximation normalization factors. An element receives the message and the approximation normalization factors and decodes the received message based on the approximation normalization factors.
