fLDPC

This is a Fortran library for LDPC decoding.

Supported features

• Decoding a noisy codeword of a specific coset by means of a syndrome. This feature make this project particularly suitable for the problem of reconciliation.

• Classical decoding (just feed the null syndrome)

Not supported

Likely in the future

• more flexible construction of the decoder object from a sparse matrix object

Unlikely anytime soon

• Information bit encoding (feel free to contribute if you need this feature, I work on reconciliation, and I don't need this right now)

Note

Currently the decoder is constructed by listing the nodes which each edge of the Tanner graph is connected to.

Example

In the examples folder, you can find an example BPSK transmission. You can run the example with fpm or with make

• fpm run --example
• make examples (you may need to install some external libraries)

Tests

The library is shipped with a couple of tests, which you can run again with fpm or with make:

• fpm test
• make test (you may need to install some external libraries)

Install

with FPM

fpm install [--profile release]

with make

make install (you may need to install some external libraries)
