A REVIEW OF CONSTRUCTION METHODS FOR REGULAR LDPC CODES

Nisha Sarwade

Low-Density parity-check (LDPC) codes are one of the most powerful error correcting codes available today. Their Shannon capacity approaching performance and lower decoding complexity have made them the best choice for many wired and wireless applications. This paper gives an overview about LDPC codes and compares the Gallager’s method, Reed-Solomon based algebraic method and the Progressive edge growth (PEG) combinatorial method for the construction of regular LDPC codes.

REVIEW ON CONSTRUCTION METHODS FOR REGULAR AND NON-QUASI CYCLIC LDPC CODES

S Vengatesh Kumar

Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes are one of the most powerful error correction codes available today. Its Shannon capability that closely matches performance and lower decoding complexity has made them the best choice for many wired and wireless applications. This Paper provides an overview of the LDPC codes and compares the Gallager method, the Reed-Solomon-based algebraic method, and the combinatorial Progressive Growth (PEG) method for constructing regular LDPC codes and also Overlapped and Modified overlapped message passing algorithm for Non-Quasi Cyclic(NQC) LDPC codes.

Low-Density Parity-Check Codes

W.E. Ryan, Shu Lin

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a class of linear block codes with implementable decoders, which provide near-capacity performance on a large set of data-transmission and data-storage channels. LDPC codes were invented by Gallager in his 1960 doctoral dissertation and were mostly ignored during the 35 years that followed. One notable exception is the important work of Tanner in 1981, in which Tanner generalized LDPC codes and introduced a graphical representation of LDPC codes, now called a Tanner graph. The study of LDPC codes was resurrected in the mid 1990s with the work of MacKay, Luby, and others [3–6], who noticed, apparently independently of Gallager's work, the advantages of linear block codes with sparse (low-density) parity-check matrices. This chapter introduces LDPC codes and creates a foundation for further study of LDPC codes in later chapters. We start with the fundamental representations of LDPC codes via parity-check matrices and Tanner graphs. We then learn about the decoding advantages of linear codes that possess sparse parity-check matrices. We will see that this sparseness characteristic makes the code amenable to various iterative decoding algorithms, which in many instances provide near optimal performance. Gallager of course recognized the decoding advantages of such low-density parity-check codes and he proposed a decoding algorithm for the BI-AWGNC and a few others for the BSC. These algorithms have received much scrutiny in the past decade, and are still being studied.

An Introduction to LDPC Codes

Bane Vasic, Erozan M. Kurtas

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a class of linear block codes which provide near-capacity performance on a large collection of data transmission and storage channels while simultaneously admitting implementable decoders. LDPC codes were first proposed by Gallager in his 1960 doctoral dissertation [1] and were scarcely considered in the 35 years that followed. One notable exception is the important work of Tanner in 1981 [2] in which Tanner generalized LDPC codes and introduced a graphical representation of LDPC codes, now called Tanner graphs. The study of LDPC codes was resurrected in the mid1990s with the work of MacKay, Luby, and others [3-5] who noticed, apparently independently of the work of Gallager, the advantages of linear block codes which possess sparse (low-density) parity-check matrices.

Low-density parity-check codes

Sarah J. Johnson

Introduction In this chapter we introduce low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, a class of error correction codes proposed by Gallager in his 1962 PhD thesis 12 years after error correction codes were first introduced by Hamming (published in 1950). Both Hamming codes and LDPC codes are block codes: the messages are broken up into blocks to be encoded at the transmitter and similarly decoded as separate blocks at the receiver. While Hamming codes are short and very structured with a known, fixed, error correction ability, LDPC codes are the opposite, usually long and often constructed pseudo-randomly with only a probabilistic notion of their expected error correction performance. The chapter begins by presenting parity bits as a means to detect and, when more than one is employed, to correct errors in digital data. Block error correction codes are described as a linear combination of parity-check equations and thus defined by their parity-check matrix representation. The graphical representation of codes by Tanner graphs is presented and the necessary graph theoretic concepts introduced. In Section 2.4 iterative decoding algorithms are introduced using a hard decision algorithm (bit flipping), so that the topic is developed first without reference to probability theory. Subsequently the sum–product decoding algorithm is presented. This chapter serves as a self-contained introduction to LDPC codes and their decoding. It is intended that the material presented here will enable the reader to implement LDPC encoders and iterative decoders.

Xiaohua Zhang, Shoufeng Peng, Feifei Fan

Low density parity check (LDPC) codes has obtained widely appreciated, because of its superior performance. In this paper, expounded the principle of the low density parity check code construction, and studied its encoding and decoding algorithm. Then we carried out LDPC codes' simulation under additive white Gaussian noise channel, verified the superior error correction capability of LDPC codes.
