Channel coding technique is a fundamental building block in any modern communication system to realize reliable, fast, and secure data transmission. At the same time, it is a challenging and crucial task, as the data transmission happens in a channel where noise, fading, and other impairments are present. The Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes give substantial results close to the Shannon limit when the complexity and processing delay time are unlimited. In this paper, the performance of the LDPC decoding with four algorithms was investigated. The investigated four algorithms were Belief Propagation (BP), Layered Belief Propagation (LBP), Normalized min-sum (NMS), and Offset min-sum (OMS). These algorithms were examined for code rates ranging from 1/3 to 9/10 and message block lengths (64, 512, 1024, and 5120) bits. The simulation results revealed the flexibility of these decoders in supporting these code rates and block lengths, which enables their usage in a wide range of applications and scenarios for fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication. In addition, the effect of the maximum number of decoding iterations on the error correction performance was investigated, and a gain of 5.6 dB can be obtained by using 32 decoding iterations at BER=2*10-3 instead of one decoding iteration. The results showed that the decoders performed better for longer message blocks than for short message blocks, and less power was required for transmitting longer messages. Finally, the comparison results of their performance in terms of bit error rate (BER) under the same conditions showed a gain of 0.8 dB using LBP at BER= 10-5 compared with the NMS decoding algorithm.
