	  abstract     = {In this paper, we evaluate the choice of suitable
quantization characteristics for both the decoder messages and the
received samples in Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) coded
systems using M-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)
schemes. The analysis involves the demapper block that provides
initial likelihood values for the decoder, by relating its quantization
strategy of the decoder. A mapping strategy refers to the grouping of
bits within a codeword, where each m-bit group is used to select a
2m-ary signal in accordance with the signal labels. Further we
evaluate the system with mapping strategies like Consecutive-Bit
(CB) and Bit-Reliability (BR). A new demapper version, based on
approximate expressions, is also presented to yield a low complexity
hardware implementation.},
