摘要
Accurate first erroneous position (FEP) identification is key to improving the error-correction performance of successive cancellation flip (SCF) decoding. However, FEP identification remains challenging with a limited number of re-decoding attempts. To address this issue, we propose decision-boundary normalization (DBN) to improve FEP identification and develop a novel DBN-SCF decoding algorithm. DBN normalizes the magnitude of each decision log-likelihood ratio (LLR) by the standard deviation predicted by the Gaussian approximation (GA) for the corresponding bit-channel. This allows a single normalized threshold to be shared across bit-channels within each code configuration, giving it a consistent statistical meaning and avoiding per-channel calibration. DBN-SCF decoding selects candidate flip positions from the information set in the natural successive cancellation (SC) decoding order using a threshold, without sorting. Moreover, DBN-SCF decoding achieves better error-correction performance with a limited number of re-decoding attempts. It also requires lower average decoding complexity than existing SCF decoding methods at a comparable level of error-correction performance.
