Abstract

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.

Improved combining method for design of quasi‐cyclic LDPC codes

Yuanhua Liu, Meiling Zhang, Xinliang Niu

An improved combining method is proposed for constructing quasi‐cyclic low‐density parity‐check (QC‐LDPC) codes with large girth and few short cycles. Large girth QC‐LDPC codes can be obtained by carefully designing one component code with large girth. By properly designing the other component codes, a lot of QC‐LDPC codes with very few short cycles can be designed. Simulations show that compared with Chinese remainder theorem based QC‐LDPC codes and progressive edge‐growth based QC‐LDPC codes, the proposed QC‐LDPC codes have much less short cycles and better performance.

An Improved Method for Constructing QC-LDPC Codes Based on Chinese Remainder Theorem

Liu Yuan-hu

An improved combining method for designing quasi- cyclic low- density parity- check( QC-LDPC) codes based on Chinese Remainder Theorem( CRT) is proposed to improve the error- correcting performance by increasing the girth and decreasing the number of short cycles. With the CRT combining method,the difficult problem of designing QC- LDPC codes with girth g is translated into a task of designing one component code with girth g. By properly permuting the column blocks of parity- check matrices of other component codes,a lot of QC- LDPC codes with much shorter cycles and better performance can be designed,which are more suitable for communication systems with request of high reliability. Simulations show that compared with existing CRT- based QC- LDPC codes,the proposed QC- LDPC codes have much shorter cycles and obtain 1. 2 d B coding gain at bit error rate( BER) of 10- 6.

A combining method of quasi-cyclic LDPC codes by the Chinese remainder theorem

Seho Myung, Kyeongcheol Yang

In this paper we propose a method of constructing quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes of large length by combining QC-LDPC codes of small length as their component codes, via the Chinese remainder theorem. The girth of the QC-LDPC codes obtained by the proposed method is always larger than or equal to that of each component code. By applying the method to array codes, we present a family of high-rate regular QC-LDPC codes with no 4-cycles. Simulation results show that they have almost the same performance as random regular LDPC codes.

Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes Based on the Improved Combining Method

Yuan Hua Liu, Mei Ling Zhang, Xin Liang Niu

An improved combining method based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem is proposed for constructing much better quasi-cyclic (QC) LDPC codes. By carefully permuting the block columns of the parity check matrices of the component codes, a lot of QC-LDPC codes with much less short cycles and better performance can be designed. Simulation results show that at a BER of 10-6, the constructed QC-LDPC codes outperform those designed by the existing combining methods by about 1.2 dB.

Quasi-Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check Codes Based on Progressive Cycle Growth Algorithm

Yuanhua Liu, Meiling Zhang, Niu Xin-Liang

Short cycles in the Tanner graph of a given LDPC code has negative effect on the performance of iterative decoding. To improve the performance, we presented an approach for constructing Quasi-Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check (QC-LDPC) codes whose associated Tanner graph has large girth and a small amount of short cycles. Each column block of the parity check matrix was designed by adding circulant permutation sub-matrices one after another, provided the current parity check matrix has minimal number of short cycles. The condition for the proposed QC-LDPC codes to have girth at least 6 was also analyzed. Regular and irregular QC-LDPC codes with various lengths and rates can be constructed. Simulations show that the proposed QC-LDPC codes have less short cycles and better performance than existing progressive edge growth based QC-LDPC codes.

Large girth quasi-cyclic LDPC codes based on the chinese remainder theorem

Xueqin Jiang, Moon Ho Lee

In this letter, we consider two problems associated with quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes. The first is how to extend the code length of a QC-LDPC code without reducing the girth. The second is how to design a QCLDPC code with a prescribed girth easily. We deal with these two problems by using a combining method of QC-LDPC codes via the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT). Codes constructed with our proposed method have flexible code lengths, flexible code rates and large girth. Simulation results show that they perform very well with the iterative decoding.
