Early-Stopped Technique for BCH Decoding Algorithm Under Tolerant Fault Probability
share
In this paper, a technique for the Berlekamp-Massey(BM) algorithm is provided to reduce the latency of decoding and save decoding power by early termination or early-stopped checking. We investigate the consecutive zero discrepancies during the decoding iteration and decide to early stop the decoding process. This technique is subject to decoding failure in exchange for the decoding latency. We analyze our proposed technique by considering the weight distribution of BCH code and estimating the bounds of undetected error probability as the event of enormous stop checking. The proposed method is effective in numerical results and the probability of decoding failure is lower than 10^-119 for decoding 16383 code length of BCH codes. Furthermore, the complexity compared the conventional early termination method with the proposed approach for decoding the long BCH code. The proposed approach reduces the complexity of the conventional approach by up to 80%. As a result, the FPGA testing on a USB device validates the reliability of the proposed method.
