Tail-Biting Globally-Coupled LDPC Codes

Ji Zhang, Baoming Bai, Shuangyang Li +2 more

This paper presents a new type of globally-coupled low-density parity-check (GC-LDPC) codes whose base matrix has a cyclic structure in the global part. Therefore, the resulting codes are referred to as tail-biting GC-LDPC (TB-GC-LDPC) codes. We propose two methods to construct TB GC quasi-cyclic LDPC (TB-GC-QC-LDPC) codes. For the first method, we extract a replicated version of a constructed base matrix and mask it with a designed masking matrix. Compared to the conventional construction methods, this method provides more flexibility in code length for TB-GC-QC-LDPC codes. The second method is based on designing the incidence matrix of a special type of packings. Examples show that the constructed TB-GC-QC-LDPC codes perform well over the additive white Gaussian noise channel (AWGNC) and the binary erasure channel (BEC). The asymptotic performance of TB-GC-LDPC ensembles over BECs are also analyzed by resorting to density evolution. Moreover, numerical results show that TB-GC-LDPC ensembles can achieve better flooding-schedule decoding (FSD) thresholds than the corresponding GC-LDPC ensembles with a similar structure. With sufficient decoding iterations in the global phase, the local/global two-phase iterative decoding (TPD) thresholds of the TB-GC-LDPC ensembles significantly outperform those of the corresponding GC-LDPC ensembles as well.

Globally Coupled Finite Geometry and Finite Field LDPC Coding Schemes

Mona Nasseri, Xin Wei Xiao, Bane V. Vasic +1 more

This paper presents two types of concatenated LDPC coding schemes which are viewed asgeneralized globally coupled(GC)LDPCcoding schemes in which outer codes serve as thelocal codesfor correcting local errors and inner codes serve asglobal coupling codesto correct global errors. The first type of concatenated LDPC coding scheme globally couples a finite geometry (FG) LDPC code as the local code and a finite field (FF) LDPC code as the global coupling code. This type of global coupling, calledGC-FG/FF-LDPC coupling, combines the distinct features of both FG- and FF-LDPC codes to achieve low error rates at a rapid decoding convergence and an error performance close to the Shannon limit. Decoding of a GC-FG/FF-LDPC code is carried out intwo iterative phases, global/local or local/global. In the second type of concatenated LDPC coding scheme, both local and global coupling codes are FF-LDPC codes. If both local and global coupling codes are constructed from the same finite field and have the same graphical structures, a GC-FF/FF-LDPC code can be decoded in one phase or two phases iteratively, otherwise, it can be decoded in two phases. Construction of GC-FF/FF-LDPC codes is very flexible in lengths and rates. The proposed two-phase iterative decoding is practically implementable.

Constructing Grith Eight GC-LDPC Codes Based on the GCD FLRM Matrix with a New Lower Bound

Kun Zhu, Hongwen Yang

By connecting multiple short, local low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with a global parity check, the globally coupled (GC) LDPC code can attain high performances with low complexities. The typical design of a local code is a quasi-cyclic (QC) LDPC for which the code length is proportional to the size of circulant permutation matrix (CPM). The greatest common divisor (GCD)-based full-length row multiplier (FLRM) matrix is constrained by a lower bound of CPM size to avoid six length cycles. In this paper, we find a new lower bound for the CPM size and propose an algorithm to determine the minimum CPM size and the corresponding FLRM matrix. Based on the new lower bound, two methods are proposed to construct the GC-QC-LDPC code of grith 8 based on the GCD based FLRM matrix. With the proposed algorithm, the CPM size can be 45% less than that given by sufficient condition of girth 8. Compared with the conventional GC-LDPC construction, the codes constructed with the proposed method have improved performance and are more flexible in code length and code rate design.
