Layered Normalised Min-Sum algorithm is a widely used message passing algorithm for decoding Low Density Parity Check codes. The decoding performance heavily depends on the normalisation factor. Firstly, we leverage the bit structure present in 5G transport blocks to develop an improved decoding algorithm for 5G. Secondly, we determine the optimal normalisation factors of the proposed algorithm using a Deep Neural Network. Performance evaluations show an improvement of 0.3-1.9 dB, with no extra cost on multiplier resources on hardware. Hence, the proposed method is highly attractive for practical 5G decoder implementations.
