20100042897 | SELECTIVELY STRENGTHENING AND WEAKENING CHECK-NODE MESSAGES IN ERROR-CORRECTION DECODERS - In one embodiment, an LDPC decoder has a plurality of check-node units (CNUs) and a controller.

In particular, offset values are selected such that (i) the messages corresponding to the MSCs are decreased relative to the messages that would be generated using the initial offset value and/or (ii) the messages corresponding to the USCs are increased relative to the messages that would be generated using the initial offset value. Decoding is then continued for a specified number of iterations to break the trapping set.
