Abstract

This paper presents some new results on QC-LDPC codes constructed based on Reed-Solomon (RS) codes. Results include designs and constructions of RS-based QC-LDPC codes with girth 8, cycle structure in their Tanner graphs, and correction of erasures.

Reed-Solomon Based Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes: Designs, Girth, Cycle Structure, and Reduction of Short Cycles

Xin Wei Xiao, Bane V. Vasic, Shu Lin +2 more

Designs and constructions of quasi-cyclic (QC) LDPC codes for the AWGN channel are presented. The codes are constructed based on the conventional parity-check matrices of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes and are referred to as RS-QC-LDPC codes. Several classes of RS-QC-LDPC codes are given. Cycle structural properties of the Tanner graphs of codes in these classes are analyzed and specific methods for constructing codes with girth at least eight and reducing their short cycles are presented. The designed codes perform well in both waterfall and low error-rate regions.

Girth-Eight Reed-Solomon Based QC-LDPC Codes

Xin Wei Xiao, Bane V. Vasic, Shu Lin +2 more

This paper presents a class of regular quasi-cyclic (QC) LDPC codes whose Tanner graphs have girth at least eight. These codes are constructed based on the conventional parity-check matrices of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes with minimum distance 5. Masking their parity-check matrices significantly reduces the numbers of short cycles in their Tanner graphs and results in codes which perform well over the AWGN channel in both waterfall and low error-rate regions.

Performance of Reed-Solomon Based Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes Based on Protograph

Inseon Kim, Hong‐Yeop Song

In this paper, we exploit construction of Reed-Solomon (RS) based Quasi-Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check (QC-LDPC) codes using protograph combining two existing QC-LDPC codes construction and experiment the performance of the codes. Two constructions have benefits: One is the construction RS based QC-LDPC codes whose girth is at least 8 and another is protograph based QC-LDPC codes to increase the upper bounds of minimum Hamming distance. We construct the protographs with three strategies and two of them have coding gain in sense of bit error rate compare to existing Reed Solomon based QC-LDPC codes.

Construction of QC-LDPC codes based on generalized RS codes with girth larger than 6

Rong Xia Sun, Yu Min Tian, Jingwei Liu

In this paper, an approach for constructing Quasi-cyclic(QC)-LDPC codes with girth larger than 6 based on Generalized Reed-Solomon(GRS) codes is presented. The proposed construction method in conjunction with masking, results in codes whose Tanner graphs have girth 8 or even larger. Experimental results show that, with iterative decoding algorithms, the constructed QC-LDPC codes perform well.

Construction of Reed-Solomon Based Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes Based on Protograph

In this paper, we propose construction of Reed-Solomon(RS) based Quasi-Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check(QC-LDPC) codes using protograph combining two existing QC-LDPC codes construction. One is the construction RS based QC-LDPC codes whose girth is at least 8 and another is protograph based QC-LDPC codes to increase the upper bounds of minimum Hamming distance. We construct the protographs to increase the upper bound of minimum Hamming distance for Proto-RS-QC-LDPC codes and simulate some experiment to show coding gain in sense of BER compare to existing QC-LDPC codes.

Reed-Solomon based globally coupled quasi-cyclic LDPC codes

Juane Li, Keke Liu, Shu Lin +1 more

This paper presents a special type of LDPC codes constructed based on the conventional parity-check matrices of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes. LDPC codes of this type are referred to as globally coupled RS-LDPC codes. These codes are designed for correcting random errors, random short phased bursts of erasures and long bursts of erasures. The Tanner graph of a globally coupled RS-LDPC is composed of a number of disjoint copies of the Tanner graph of a local RS-LDPC code which are connected together by a group of overall check-nodes (CNs), called global CNs. A globally coupled RS-LDPC code can be decoded with a two-phase local/global iterative scheme which allows correction of local random errors and phased bursts of erasures in the local phase and global random errors and a single long burst of erasures in the global phase.
