The computation of the projection onto the parity polytope is the core of this algorithm and usually involves a sorting operation, which is the main effort of the projection. In this paper, we present an algorithm with low complexity to compute this projection. The algorithm relies on new findings in the recursive structure of the parity polytope and iteratively fixes selected components. As shown in our realistic simulation setup, it requires up to 37% less arithmetical operations compared with state-of-the-art projections. Additionally, it does not involve a sorting operation, which is needed in all exact state-of-the-art projection algorithms. These two benefits make it appealing for efficient hardware and software implementations. 收起
