Description
Summary:Non-Binary Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes have gained significant attention due to their remarkable error correction capabilities in various communication systems. Decoding algorithms play a pivotal role in realizing the potential of non-binary LDPC codes. This paper provides a comprehensive review and analysis of non-binary LDPC decoding algorithms, focusing on their efficiency, complexity, and performance. Furthermore, recent advancements and innovations in non-binary LDPC decoding algorithms are discussed, such as improved message passing strategies, layered decoding techniques, and adaptive algorithms. The review also highlights challenges and open research directions in non-binary LDPC decoding, such as mitigating error floors, reducing decoding complexity, and integrating with emerging communication technologies. Finally, the paper draws conclusions on the current state of non-binary LDPC decoding algorithms, underscoring their promising applications in wireless communication, visible light communication (VLC), and power line communication (PLC). Simulation results demonstrate a marked improvement in bit error rate performance for both VLC and PLC systems, highlighting the practical potential of these advanced decoding techniques.
