Abstract
The exact calculation, LLR (Log-Likelihood Ratio) or APP (A Posteriori Probability) of the QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) demapping involves complicated operations. Several algorithms have been introduced to simplify the calculation of the LLR, such as a pragmatic algorithm, Max-Log-MAP algorithm. In this work, we apply the Max-Log-MAP algorithm for binary LDPC codes. Simulation results show that the LDPC codes using the Max-Log-MAP algorithm for 16-QAM and 64-QAM constellations can achieve a good performance of binary LDPC codes with a simple calculation over Gaussian and Rayleigh channels.
