To address the limitations of static message aggregation and training instability in the existing Shared Neural Normalized Min-Sum (SNNMS) algorithm, this paper proposes A-SNNMS, an attentive deep LDPC decoding network with adaptive training. First, an attention mechanism is introduced into the variable node update phase to dynamically weight incoming messages based on their reliability, effectively suppressing noise interference. Second, a collaborative training scheme incorporating an exponential decay adaptive learning rate and L2 regularization is designed to mitigate convergence oscillation and overfitting in long-code training. Simulation results for IEEE 802.16e standard codes demonstrate that A-SNNMS achieves a net coding gain of approximately 0.4 dB over the baseline SNNMS at a Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10−3. Furthermore, it achieves comparable performance with only 50% of the iterations required by the baseline. In conclusion, the A-SNNMS decoder significantly improves both decoding efficiency and system robustness, offering a promising solution for high-reliability communications.
