A wireless receiving device comprises a low-density parity check (LDPC) decoding circuit, comprising a circular shifter constructed and arranged to simultaneously process multiple code words of a parity check matrix configured for different wireless communication standards, including performing a cyclic shift operation of the multiple code words to align with one or more requisite check nodes of a decoder and a logic circuit at an output of the circular shifter constructed and arranged for a matrix larger than the parity check matrix and that includes components having excess hardware due to the construction and arrangement for the larger matrix to decode the multiple code words of the smaller parity check matrix for output to the one or more requisite check nodes.
