Non-uniform quantization for messages in Low-Density Parity-Check(LDPC)decoding canreduce implementation complexity and mitigate performance loss.But the distribution of messagesvaries in the iterative decoding.This letter proposes a variable non-uniform quantized Belief Propaga-tion(BP)algorithm.The BP decoding is analyzed by density evolution with Gaussian approximation.Since the probability density of messages can be well approximated by Gaussian distribution,by theunbiased estimation of variance,the distribution of messages can be tracked during the iteration.Thusthe non-uniform quantization scheme can be optimized to minimize the distortion.Simulation resultsshow that the variable non-uniform quantization scheme can achieve better error rate performance andfaster decoding convergence than the conventional non-uniform quantization and uniform quantizationschemes.
