    Abstract

    In recent years, the emerging Deep Learning (DL) technology has made progress in the field of decoding. Current polar code neural network decoder has faster convergence speed and better Bit Error Rate (BER) performance than Belief Propagation (BP) decoding. However, it still has the problem of high computational complexity. Therefore, in order to improve this problem, this paper adopts the idea of improving information update in the iterative process, and proposes a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) Offset Min-Sum (OMS) BP decoding algorithm that improves Left information update (RNN-OMSBP-L) . The simulation results show that, compared with the Deep Neural Network (DNN) BP(DNN-BP) decoding algorithm, this algorithm replaces all multiplications with a cost of 6.25% addition. Compared with the current optimized RNN OMS and approximate BP(RNN-OMS-BP) decoding algorithm, the decoding algorithm in this paper uses improved information to reduce 25% of the addition operations with almost no loss in BER performance, while saving part of the storage space overhead. Under the same BER performance, it reduces the number of iterations by 37.5%.
