Improved EBF algorithm of LDPC codes
WU Yu-ping
Abstract
EBF algorithm is one of the best known methods for constructing LDPC codes at short and intermediate block lengths,however,the codewords directly designed by such algorithm have high encoding complexity,which hinders the development of LDPC codes in the practical process.The paper presents an improved EBF algorithm based on iterative encoding method with the linear coding complexity,the aim is to make the coding complexity lower through the improvement of coding scheme and the structure of parity-check matrix.The simulation results indicate that,in the condition of BPSK、QPSK and 16QAM modulations,though there are the same error correct performance between the codewords constructed by improved EBF algorithm proposed in this paper and codewords constructed by EBF algorithm,the powerful advantage lies in the lower hardware complexity.
