DVB-S2 is the second generation of Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite and LDPC (Low Density Parity Code) is the key technology in which the decoding plays an important role in determining the performance of DVB-S2 system. According to the research on the characteristics of DVB-S2 standard, this paper reports on the improvement of the Turbo Decoding Message Passing (TDMP) algorithm by adopting the idea of merging. The component codes which don’t have public nodes are regarded as a new component. By changing the decoding order of component codes and removing useless waiting time, the message capacity transmitted between two adjacent component codes is increased. The performance of the proposed TDMP merged decoding algorithm is evaluated by simulation experiments. We measure decoding performance, convergence rate and the average decoding time to evaluate the system performance. The results obtained show that the TDMP merged decoding algorithm ensures the performance of decoding and good convergence, and also improves the average decoding speed and throughput.
