چکیده

LDPC codes of columnweight of two are constructed fromminimal distance graphs or cages. Distance graphs are used to represent LDPC code matrices such that graph vertices that represent rows and edges are columns. The conversion of a distance graph into matrix form produces an adjacency matrix with column weight of two and girth double that of the graph. The number of 1’s in each row (row weight) is equal to the degree of the corresponding vertex. By constructing graphs with different vertex degrees, we can vary the rate of corresponding LDPC code matrices. Cage graphs are used as examples of distance graphs to design codes with different girths and rates. Performance of obtained codes depends on girth and structure of the corresponding distance graphs.

Large-Girth Column-Weight Two QC-LDPC Codes

This article presents a method for constructing large girth column-weight 2 QC-LDPC codes. A distance graph is first constructed using an existing method. The distance graph is then converted into a Tanner graph. The proposed method could easily construct codes with girths large than 12 and is more flexible compared to previous methods. Obtained codes show good bit error rate performance compar...

Low Complexity Regular LDPC codes for Magnetic Storage Devices

LDPC codes could be used in magnetic storage devices because of their better decoding performance compared to other error correction codes. However, their hardware implementation results in large and complex decoders. This one of the main obstacles the decoders to be incorporated in magnetic storage devices. We construct small high girth and rate 2 columnweight codes from cage graphs. Though th...

Column Weight Two and Three LDPC Codes with High Rates and Large Girths

In this paper, the concept of the broken diagonal pair in the chess-like square board is used to define some well-structured block designs whose incidence matrices can be considered as the parity-check matrices of some high rate cycle codes with girth 12. Interestingly, the constructed regular cycle codes with row-weights t, 3 ≤ t ≤ 20, t 6= 7, 15, 16, have the best lengths among the known regu...

Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes of Column-Weight Two Using a Search Algorithm

This article introduces a search algorithm for constructing quasi-cyclic LDPC codes of column-weight two. To obtain a submatrix structure, rows are divided into groups of equal sizes. Rows in a group are connected in their numerical order to obtain a cyclic structure. Two rows forming a column must be at a specified distance from each other to obtain a given girth. The search for rows satisfyin...

From Cages to Trapping Sets and Codewords: A Technique to Derive Tight Upper Bounds on the Minimum Size of Trapping Sets and Minimum Distance of LDPC Codes

Cages, defined as regular graphs with minimum number of nodes for a given girth, are well-studied in graph theory. Trapping sets are graphical structures responsible for error floor of low-density paritycheck (LDPC) codes, and are well investigated in coding theory. In this paper, we make connections between cages and trapping sets. In particular, starting from a cage (or a modified cage), we c...
