Iterative Channel Coding

Introduction

A quantitative comparison of different iterative decoding algorithms applied to classical channel code descriptions. Implemented algorithms are:

Code Type	Code
orthogonal	one-step MLG
orthogonal	hard MLG
orthogonal	soft MLG
orthogonal	adaptive soft MLG
non-orthogonal	BF
non-orthogonal	WBF
non-orthogonal	MWBF
non-orthogonal	IMWBF
non-orthogonal	Min Sum
non-orthogonal	normalized Min Sum
non-orthogonal	offset Min Sum

Running Demos

Run make demo to see the decoding schemes in action.

Running Benchmarks

Run make benchmark to run the decoding performance benchmarks for the code descriptions given in resources/control_matrices.txt. Results are placed per code in appropriately named subfolders of the benchmarks directory. They can be visualized by invoking the tool/plot script with one of the subfolders as the first command line argument.
