Layered low density parity check decoding for digital communications

A low density parity check (LDPC) code that is particularly well adapted for hardware implementation of a belief propagation decoder circuit (38) is disclosed. The LDPC code is arranged as a parity check matrix (H) whose rows and columns represent check sums and input nodes, respectively. The parity check matrix is grouped into subsets of check sum rows, in which the column weight is a maximum of one. The decoder circuitry includes a parity check value estimate memory (52). Adders (54) generate extrinsic estimates, from immediately updated input node probability estimates, and the extrinsic estimates are applied to parity check update circuitry (56) for generating new parity check sum value estimates. These parity check sum value estimates are stored back into the memory (52), and after addition with the extrinsic estimates, are stored in a column sum memory (66) of a corresponding bit update circuit (60) as updated probability values for the input nodes.

System and methods for searching interactive broadcast data

Methods, systems, and computer program products for searching interactive broadcast data for a string of text. Binary signatures are generated for each text description in the interactive broadcast data. A user-entered text string is also converted to a binary signature. A binary signature is a bit field representation of a block of text. A binary signature may be significantly smaller than the unconverted block of text, yet may still be unique when compared binary signatures of other blocks of text. All binary signatures may be generated using the same hash or digest function. The binary signature of the user-entered text string is compared to the binary signature of each entry in the interactive broadcast data. If the any of the comparisons indicate that the user-entered text string is included in an interactive broadcast data text description, other data associated with the interactive broadcast data may be retrieved.
