• Worked as a Research Intern on the project “Study and Analysis of LDPC Decoder for 5G NR”.• Reviewed the literature to understand the research which has already been done.• Implemented the RU(Richardson-Urbanke) algorithm for QC-LDPC encoder on MATLAB.• Worked on a novel low-complexity, high-throughput decoder approach for the 5G standards. • Simulated the layered -min sum decoding algorithm for varying scaling factors to predict the optimum iterations required at a given SNR.• Proposed a that can be used for layers whose Column Weight is greater than 1.• Hypothesized and tested layer swapping that can be used to minimize space and delay in the hardware
