you can decode the ldpc code with algorithm sum-product & itterative decoding&porto graph.also you can use measure of ber of code. in fact you calculate ber and gain of code
suboptimal decoding for LDPC are based on belief propagation. Basically, the sum-product and the min-sum algorithms are used. The performance measure you can use to compare with the state of the art can be the bit error rate or the frame error rate.
