Quasi-cyclic multi-edge LDPC codes for long-distance quantum cryptography

on the girth of tanner (3,7) quasi-cyclic ldpc codes

‎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...

Multi-Edge Type LDPC Codes

We introduce multi-edge type LDPC codes, a generalization of the concept of irregular LDPC codes that yields improvements in performance, range of applications, adaptability and error floor. The multiedge type LDPC codes formalism includes various constructions that have been proposed in the literature including, among others, concatenated tree (CT) codes [1], (generalized irregular) repeat acc...

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.
