We consider decoding of LDPC codes over GF(q) with a harddecision low-complexity majority algorithm, which is a generalization of the bit-flipping algorithm for binary LDPC codes. A modification of this algorithm with multiple thresholds is suggested. A lower estimate on the decoding radius realized by the new algorithm is derived. The estimate is shown to be better than the estimate for a single threshold majority decoder. At the same time, introducing multiple thresholds does not affect the order of decoding complexity.
Keywords: Coding theory, iterative decoding, LDPC codes, majority logic decoding, threshold decoding, decoding radius.
