On LDPC codes corresponding to affine parts of generalized polygons

On the Grobner Basis of a Family of Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes

Analysis of thresholds for braided block codes in BEC

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, invented by Gallager [2], who described and analyzed a block variant of the codes, arouse great interest of researchers. These codes are widely used in practice since they can be decoded by using relatively simple iterative decoding algorithms. Several modifications of these codes are known, in particular, generalized LDPC codes [3]. In contrast to Gallage...

Improving the Rao-Nam secret key cryptosystem using regular EDF-QC-LDPC codes

This paper proposes an efficient joint secret key encryption-channel coding cryptosystem, based on regular Extended Difference Family Quasi-Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check codes. The key length of the proposed cryptosystem decreases up to 85 percent using a new efficient compression algorithm. Cryptanalytic methods show that the improved cryptosystem has a significant security advantage over Ra...

Design of Generalized LDPC Codes and their Decoders

We first consider the design of generalized LPDC (G-LDPC) codes with recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) constraint nodes in place of the standard single parity check constraint nodes. Because rate-1/2 RSC nodes lead to low-rate G-LDPC codes, we consider high-rate tail-biting RSC nodes for which Riedel’s APP-decoder based on the reciprocal-dual code trellis becomes necessary. We present th...
