Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) Codes Constructed from Protographs

چکیده

We introduce a new class of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes constructed from a template called a protograph. The protograph serves as a blueprint for constructing LDPC codes of arbitrary size whose performance can be predicted by analyzing the protograph. We apply standard density evolution techniques to predict the performance of large protograph codes. Finally, we use a randomized search algorithm to find good protographs.

Protograph LDPC Codes with Block Thresholds: Extension to Degree-1 and Generalized Nodes

Protograph low-density-parity-check (LDPC) are considered to design near-capacity lowrate codes over the binary erasure channel (BEC) and binary additive white Gaussian noise (BIAWGN) channel. For protographs with degree-one variable nodes and doubly-generalized LDPC (DGLDPC) codes, conditions are derived to ensure equality of bit-error threshold and block-error threshold. Using this condition,...

Construction of Protographs for QC LDPC Codes With Girth Larger Than 12

A quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) code can be viewed as the protograph code with circulant permutation matrices. In this paper, we find all the subgraph patterns of protographs of QC LDPC codes having inevitable cycles of length 2i, i = 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, i.e., the cycles existing regardless of the shift values of circulants. It is also derived that if the girth of the protograph...

Design of Generalized LDPC Codes and their Decoders

We first consider the design of generalized LPDC (G-LDPC) codes with recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) constraint nodes in place of the standard single parity check constraint nodes. Because rate-1/2 RSC nodes lead to low-rate G-LDPC codes, we consider high-rate tail-biting RSC nodes for which Riedel’s APP-decoder based on the reciprocal-dual code trellis becomes necessary. We present th...

On the Tanner Graph Cycle Distribution of Random LDPC, Random Protograph-Based LDPC, and Random Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Code Ensembles

Random bipartite graphs, random lifts of bipartite protographs, and random cyclic lifts of bipartite protographs are used to represent random low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, randomly constructed protograph-based LDPC codes, and random quasi-cyclic (QC) LDPC codes, respectively. In this paper, we study the distribution of cycles of different length in all these three categories of graphs....

Approach to the construction of regular low-density parity-check codes from group permutation matrices

In this study, a new method for constructing low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is presented. This construction is based on permutation matrices which come from a finite abstract group and hence the codes constructed in this manner are called group permutation low-density parity-check (GP-LDPC) codes. A necessary and sufficient condition under which a GP-LDPC code has a cycle, is given and s...
