LDPC decoder design for IEEE 802.15 standard

This paper presents an efficient decoder design for the LDPC codes in IEEE 802.15 standard. This decoder features by high parallel level, low message memory requirement and code rate flexibility. By processing 72 columns and 72 rows in parallel, it can reach a throughput of 2.8 Gbps to fulfill the standard requirement. Furthermore, the decoder supports three different code rates by employing flexible check node processor units.
