Abstract :
In this paper we propose a new Gaussian-based analytical method for performance analysis of regular LDPC codes iterative decoding on AWGN channel. The proposed method has good accuracy and low complexity in comparison with current methods. Based on our developed analytical equations, we present an error propagation model for the iterative decoder of LDPC codes which can be used as a simple tool for convergence analysis of LDPC codes on the AWGN channel.
