Methods of Searching for Trapping Sets of Quasi-cyclic Ldpc Codes and Their Applications in Code Construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a methodology to search for harmful subgraphs in the Tanner graph of a regular column-weightthree low-density parity-check (LDPC) code. These harmful subgraphs, which are more commonly known under the name “trapping sets,” cause a degradation in the error correcting performance of LDPC codes in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region. Our method of searching for trapping sets utilizes the Trapping Set Ontology, a database in which trapping sets are arranged according to their topological relationships. Based on the topological relationships, larger trapping sets are searched for by expanding smaller ones. This reduces the complexity and the run-times of the search algorithms and allows large trapping sets to be searched for efficiently. Besides, if the LDPC code is quasi-cyclic then our search algorithms can be futher simplified. Our method of searching for trapping sets is useful in the performance analysis of LDPC codes and in the construction of good LDPC codes. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of the method in the construction of good LDPC codes.

Cyclic and Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes on Row and Column Constrained Parity-Check Matrices and Their Trapping Sets
This paper is concerned with construction and structural analysis of both cyclic and quasi-cyclic codes, particularly LDPC codes. It consists of three parts. The first part shows that a cyclic code given by a parity-check matrix in circulant form can be decomposed into descendant cyclic and quasi-cyclic codes of various lengths and rates. Some fundamental structural properties of these descenda...

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...
