Abstract
Even though Low-Density-Parity-Check (LDPC) code which has the decoding performance close to the Shannon Limit and it is designed as a powerful forward-error-correction (FEC) code in the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel, simulation results show that the performance of LDPC decoder is degraded when exposed to the impulsive noise. According to such a impulsive noise impact, joint iterative channel estimation and decoding technique is proposed in this paper so as to decrease the effect of impulsive interference while less complicated in processing. The proposed methods decreases the complexity by implementing the simple way of channel estimation and applying joint iterative technique between channel estimation and LDPC decoding under two kind of impulsive noise; pulsed radio frequency interference(RFI) and symmetric alpha-stable (SαS). In the optimal decoder, channel parameter estimation can be as accurate as possible. Because computed in every time of iterative decoder, channel parameters have been always optimized resulting in the enhancement of LDPC decoder performance.
