A simplified algorithm for check node processing of extended min-sum (EMS) q-ary LDPC decoders is presented in this letter. Compared with the bubble check algorithm, the so-called dynamic bubble-check (DBC) algorithm aims to further reduce the computational complexity for the elementary check node (ECN) processing. By introducing two flag vectors in ECN processing, The DBC algorithm can use the minimum number of comparisons at each step. Simulation results show that, DBC algorithm uses significantly fewer comparison operations than the bubble check algorithm, and presents no performance loss compared with standard EMS algorithm on AWGN channels.
