In this paper, the definition of threshold of elementary absorbing sets is extended to scaled Min-Sum lowdensity parity-check (LDPC) decoding. Based on the analysis of the behavior of scaled Min-Sum LDPC decoders in the Tanner graph of the absorbing set, it is proven that correct decoding is guaranteed with received channel messages above threshold. A fast algorithm for the threshold computation is derived. Many examples of absorbing sets taken from LDPC codes of various variable node degrees are investigated, and it is shown that all of them can be deactivated with low enough scaling factors.
Nell'articolo la definizione di soglia di un Absorbing Set in un grafo di Tanner e' estesa al caso di decodificatore Min-Sum scalato. Si dimistra che la decodifcia corretta è garantita quando i messaggi ricevuti da canale per l'AS sono tutti sopra soglia, si propone un algoritmo per il calcolo della soglia e si mostrano molti esempi di vari codici LDPC di vari gradi nei quali tutti gli AS più critici possono essere disattivati usando coefficienti di scaling sufficientemente piccoli.

Abstract
In this paper, the definition of threshold of elementary absorbing sets is extended to scaled Min-Sum lowdensity parity-check (LDPC) decoding. Based on the analysis of the behavior of scaled Min-Sum LDPC decoders in the Tanner graph of the absorbing set, it is proven that correct decoding is guaranteed with received channel messages above threshold. A fast algorithm for the threshold computation is derived. Many examples of absorbing sets taken from LDPC codes of various variable node degrees are investigated, and it is shown that all of them can be deactivated with low enough scaling factors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
