A two-dimensional post normalization scheme is proposed to improve the performance of conventional min-sum (MS) and normalized MS decoding of irregular low density parity check codes. An iterative procedure based on parallel differential optimization algorithm is presented to obtain the optimal two-dimensional normalization factors. Both density evolution analysis and specific code simulation show that the proposed method provides a comparable performance as belief propagation decoding while requiring less complexity. Interestingly, the new method exhibits a lower error floor than that of belief propagation decoding in the high SNR region. With respect to standard MS and one-dimensional normalized MS decodings, the two-dimensional normalized MS offers a considerably better performance.
