High-Rate Nonbinary Regular Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes for Optical Communications

Murat Arabaci, Ivan B. Djordjević, Ross Saunders +1 more

The parity-check matrix of a nonbinary (NB) low-density parity-check (LDPC) code over Galois field GF(q) is constructed by assigning nonzero elements from GF(q) to the 1s in corresponding binary LDPC code. In this paper, we state and prove a theorem that establishes a necessary and sufficient condition that an NB matrix over GF(q), constructed by assigning nonzero elements from GF(q) to the 1s in the parity-check matrix of a binary quasi-cyclic (QC) LDPC code, must satisfy in order for its null-space to define a nonbinary QC-LDPC (NB-QC-LDPC) code. We also provide a general scheme for constructing NB-QC-LDPC codes along with some other code construction schemes targeting different goals, e.g., a scheme that can be used to construct codes for which the fast-Fourier-transform-based decoding algorithm does not contain any intermediary permutation blocks between bit node processing and check node processing steps. Via Monte Carlo simulations, we demonstrate that NB-QC-LDPC codes can achieve a net effective coding gain of 10.8 dB at an output bit error rate of 10-12. Due to their structural properties that can be exploited during encoding/decoding and impressive error rate performance, NB-QC-LDPC codes are strong candidates for application in optical communications.

Design and Analysis of NB QC-LDPC Codes Over Small Alphabets

Irina E. Bocharova, Boris D. Kudryashov, Evgenii P. Ovsyannikov +2 more

We propose a novel approach to optimization of irregular nonbinary (NB) quasi-cyclic (QC)-LDPC codes over small alphabets. In this approach, first, the base parity-check matrices are constructed by a simulated annealing method, and then these matrices are labeled by the field elements while maximizing the so- called generalized girth of the Tanner graph. In order to analyze the performance of the constructed irregular NB LDPC codes, a new ensemble of irregular NB LDPC codes over the extensions of the binary Galois field is introduced. A finite-length random coding bound on the error probability of the maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding over the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) input AWGN channel for the new code ensemble is derived. The frame error rate (FER) performance of the sum-product belief-propagation (BP) decoding of the constructed NB QC-LDPC block codes is compared to that of both the optimized binary QC-LDPC block codes in the 5G standard and the best known NB QC-LDPC codes as well as to the derived random coding bound on the ML decoding error probability. It is shown that the obtained bound predicts the behavior of BP decoding performance of practical NB QC-LDPC codes more accurately than the BP decoding thresholds do.

Multiplicatively Repeated Nonbinary LDPC Codes

Kenta Kasai, David Declercq, Charly Poulliat +1 more

We propose nonbinary LDPC codes concatenated with multiplicative repetition codes. By multiplicatively repeating the (2,3)-regular nonbinary LDPC mother code of rate 1/3, we construct rate-compatible codes of lower rates 1/6, 1/9, 1/12,.... Surprisingly, such simple low-rate nonbinary LDPC codes outperform the best low-rate binary LDPC codes so far. Moreover, we propose the decoding algorithm for the proposed codes, which can be decoded with almost the same computational complexity as that of the mother code.
