4-Cycle Free LDPC Codes Based on Difference Sets

Abstract

Difference sets are used to give a novel method for constructing structured regular quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check codes. Let Fqbe a field with q elements and assume that D={d1,..., dk} is a (v,k,1)-difference set for Zvwith d12k. Depending on v=q-1, v≥ 2dkor v≥ 2dk-1, three code construction methods are given that produce regular 4-cycle free codes, that is codes with girth at least 6. Simulation results show that the constructed codes perform well over the AWGN channel with an iterative sum-product message-passing decoding algorithm.

Guo Zhi-rong

This paper proposes a method to construct Quasi-Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check(QC-LDPC) codes based on Cyclic Difference Sets(CDS) of combinatory. The constructed regular QC-LDPC codes are free of 4-cycles and with low complexity shift register encoding. Simulations results show that the constructed LDPC codes perform well under sum-product decoding algorithm.

Quasi-cyclic LDPC codes from difference families

Sarah J. Johnson, Steven R. Weller

Abstract — We consider in this paper regular and nearly regular quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, derived from families of dif-ference sets. The codes have girth at least 6, and sparse parity-check matrices. They are designed to perform well when iteratively decoded with the sum-product decoding algorithm and to allow low complexity encoding. I.

Construction of low-density parity-check codes using cyclic difference sets

Ming Jiang

A new method to construct LDPC codes based on cyclic difference sets of combinatorics was proposed. A large number of regular LDPC codes could be generated, with the same column weight and the same row weight. And this method could eliminate the cycles with length equal to four and decrease the ones with length equal to six. Sum-product decoding algorithm was used to decode the new constructed LDPC codes and simulation results showed that they exhibit good performance.

The Design of Structured Low-Density Parity-Check Codes With Large Girth

Jing Long

This paper,based on algebra and graph,proposes a method for constructing structured low-density parity-check(LDPC) codes.In this method,the authors design a connected graph with three kinds of special path to ensure that the Tanner graph of the parity check matrix mapped from the connected graph is without short cycles.The construction method results in two classes of(3,k)-regular quasi-cyclic LDPC codes with girth 8 and 12 respectively.Furthermore,by extending this construction method,two classes of LDPC codes with column weight 2,whose girths are respectively 16 and 24,can be obtained.The simulation studies show that these codes can achieve better performance than randomly constructed regular LDPC codes over AWGN channels with iterative decoding.At the BER of 10-5,the new proposed(3,6)-regular(4356,2205) QC-LDPC code performs 1.48dB from the Shannon limit.Moreover,it outperforms the random regular LDPC code of comparable parameters by 0.1dB.For the new proposed structured LDPC codes with column weight 2,they can achieve about 2dB coding gains with respect to the random regular LDPC codes with similar block lengths and code rates.

In this paper,two classes of partially balanced incomplete block designs (PBIBD) based on finite fields is constructed,and they are used to construct the regular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes.The constructed LDPC codes are free of 4-cycles and with high flexibility for choosing the code rate.In particular,they can also be quasi-cyclic.Simulations show that the constructed LDPC codes under sum-product iterative decoding perform very well over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels with BPSK modulation.
