This book takes a practical hands-on approach to developing low complexity algorithms and transforming them into working hardware. It follows a complete design approach – from algorithms to hardware architectures - and addresses some of the challenges associated with their design, providing insight into implementing innovative architectures based on low complexity algorithms. The reader will learn:

• Modern techniques to design, model and analyze low complexity LDPC algorithms as well as their hardware implementation

• How to reduce computational complexity and power consumption using computer aided design techniques

• All aspects of the design spectrum from algorithms to hardware implementation and performance trade-offs

• Provides extensive treatment of LDPC decoding algorithms and hardware implementations

• Gives a systematic guidance, giving a basic understanding of LDPC codes and decoding algorithms and providing practical skills in implementing efficient LDPC decoders in hardware

• Companion website containing C-Programs and MATLAB models for simulating the algorithms, and Verilog HDL codes for hardware modeling and synthesis
