New Irregular Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes Constructed from Perfect Difference Families

Quasi-cyclic LDPC codes from difference families

We consider in this paper regular and nearly regular quasi-cyclic low-density paritycheck (LDPC) codes, derived from families of difference sets. The codes have girth at least 6, and sparse parity-check matrices. They are designed to perform well when iteratively decoded with the sum-product decoding algorithm and to allow low complexity encoding.

‎s‎. ‎kim et al‎. ‎have been analyzed the girth of some algebraically‎ ‎structured quasi-cyclic (qc) low-density parity-check (ldpc)‎ ‎codes‎, ‎i.e‎. ‎tanner $(3,5)$ of length $5p$‎, ‎where $p$ is a prime of‎ ‎the form $15m+1$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎by extension this method to‎ ‎tanner $(3,7)$ codes of length $7p$‎, ‎where $p$ is a prime of the‎ ‎form $21m‎+ ‎1$‎, ‎the girth values of tanner $(3,7...

Quasi-cyclic LDPC codes with high girth

The LDPC codes are codes that approach optimal decoding performances, with an acceptable decoding computational cost ([1, 2, 3]). In this paper we present a class of quasi-cyclic LDPC codes and we show that we are able to guarantee some relevant properties of the codes. Experimentally, their decoding performance is comparable with the performance obtained by random LDPC codes. Traditionally, co...

On Advisability of Designing Short Length QC-LDPC Codes Using Perfect Difference Families

A simple and general definition of quasi cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes which are constructed based on circulant permutation matrices (CPM) is proposed. As an special case of this definition, we first represent one type of so called combinatorially designed multiple-edge protograph codes. The code construction is mainly based on perfect difference families (PDF’s) and is called...
