Abstract

A compressing method for the construction of quasi-cyclic LDPC(QC-LDPC)codes was proposed,which used a QC-LDPC code with large girth as mother code.By compressing circulant permutation matrices of the mother code,shorter QC-LDPC codes would be generated.After optimization,the generated codes would have large girth and few cycles,whose lengths varied continuously in a large range.Analysis and simulation results show that these LDPC codes have good performance and can greatly reduce the size of code storage.

Compressing construction of QC-LDPC codes

Shuqi Sun, Wuyang Zhou

Two compressing construction methods of Quasi-Cyclic LDPC (QC-LDPC) codes are proposed, which can be called recursive-compressing and single-compressing respectively. Selecting a good QC-LDPC code as the Mother, the son codes constructed through the compressing methods are still good codes, i.e., have high girth and few short cycles, moreover, they have continuous code length and require smaller memory space. Analysis and simulation results show they can perform well over the AWGN channel.

Construction of LDPC Code based on Permutation Matrices Optimization

Dong Zheng

The presence of circles would lay a great impact on the quasi-cyclic LDPC decoding.Therefore,the parity check matrix with good girth distribution is beneficial to the performance of code.This paper first makes a analysis on girth distribution of the check matrix.Then a reasonable constraint is set between the mother matrix and shift matrix,thus,by this way,the check matrix could maximize the minimum cycle length of the check matrix and the average length of the cycle.Finally,a method to construct QC-LDPC code with high girth is given.Simulation results show that this method for minimizing the short code cycle could construct good practical codes.

Construction Method of Large Girth QC-LDPC Codes Based on Lucas Sequences

Huang Shen

This paper proposes a construction method of regular(j, k) Lucas quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check(L-QC-LDPC) codes with girth at least eight based on the Lucas sequence. By this method, the girth of L-QC-LDPC codes is large, which can effectively eliminate short cycles. Besides, lower bound of circulant permutation submatrix dimension p is allowed continuous values. In addition, it can save the storage space in terms of hardware implementation which reduces the cost and complexity of hardware realization correspondingly. Simulation results show that the L-QC-LDPC codes have net coding gain(NCG) of about 2d B and 0.8d B compared with one-coincidence sequence quasi-cyclic LDPC(OCS-LDPC) codes and deterministic codes, respectively, at code rate of 1/2, code length of 1302 and bit error rate(BER) of 10?6. At the same condition, the performance of L-QC-LDPC codes is slightly better than that of the quadratic function LDPC(QF-LDPC) codes, which has an NCG improvement of around 0.1d B. Meanwhile, at code rate of 1/2, similar code length and BER of 10~(-6), the NCG of L-QC-LDPC codes outweigh about 0.5d B compared with that of QC-LDPC codes based on cyclic subgroups of finite fields.

Extension of quasi-cyclic LDPC codes by lifting

Seho Myung, Kyeongcheol Yang

In this paper, we analyze some cycle properties of quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes and show that the girth of a QC-LDPC code is upper bounded by a certain number introduced by the structure of its mother matrix. We also propose a simple method to extend QC-LDPC codes of large length by lifting QC-LDPC codes of smaller length. In particular, it is possible to generate them from a single exponent matrix by a proper modulo-operation. Simulation results show that the more we apply the lifting to QC-LDPC codes, the more memory efficiency becomes better, but it may induce a little performance degradation

Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes with Large Girth and Few Short Cycles

Yuanhua Liu

In this paper, we present an improved method for obtaining quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes of larger length by combining some component QC-LDPC codes of smaller length.Large girth can be obtained by carefully designing one large girth component code of smaller length.The other component codes are properly designed to obtain a lot of QC-LDPC codes with much few short cycles.Simulations show that compared with CRT based QC-LDPC codes and PEG based QC-LDPC codes, the proposed QC-LDPC codes have much less short cycles and better performance.

Design of good quasi-cyclic LDPC codes

Xu Dan

The existing design of quasi-cyclic(QC) low-density parity-check(LDPC) codes has not considered the problems of short length girths and the rows' dependency.The first problem leads to the BER performance of QC LDPC codes to be much poorer than that of randomly constructed LDPC codes,while the second problem leads to the difficulty of construction of generator matrices from parity-check matrices.To solve the first problem,the constraint conditions for designing the QC LDPC codes are proposed,and the dimension and shift factors of the circulant matrices of the given sparse parity-check matrix are adjusted according to the test results of both girth 4 and girth 6.To solve the second problem,an approach of irregular QC LDPC codes is proposed.The proposed approach is to replace some sub-matrices by zero matrices and identity matrices at special positions in the given sparse parity-check matrix so as to get a nonsingular square matrix for the construction of the generator matrix.Though adopting bidiagonal submatrices in parity-check matrix can solve the rows' dependency problem,many code words with low weights will occur,which leads to the BER performance can not be better by increasing code lengths.Examples are provided for the proposed design of QC LDPC codes,and computer simulation results show that the proposed QC LDPC codes achieve good BER performance.
