Description
Summary:In this paper, we analyze the performance of neural belief propagation (BP) decoding on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, compared to the traditional BP algorithm. Previous investigations have shown that assigning pre-trained weights to BP messages can significantly improve the decoding performance in case of high-density parity-check (HDPC) codes, by reducing the negative impact of short cycles. These weights are trained by a neural network whose structure matches the trellis of the decoder. Specifically, we show that medium-density paritycheck (MDPC) codes decoded with neural BP algorithm can achieve lower bit error rate versus HDPC codes with the same codeword length and the same code rate.
