Spatially-Coupled LDPC Codes for Transmission over Nonergodic Channels: Recent Advances
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper resumes our recent advances in the analysis and design of Spatially-Coupled LDPC (SC-LDPC) codes, used for transmission over nonergodic channels, in particular over the block-fading channel and over the block erasure channel. It has been shown that: a) SC-LDPC codes are naturally suitable for nonergodic channel transmission and are robust to packet errors/erasures; b) it is possible to design a SC-LDPC code, providing a target diversity order (i.e., a target decoding performance); c) SC-LDPC codes are robust to desynchronisation errors, in particular to the presence of an offset within a transmission.

Performance of Spatially-Coupled LDPC Codes and Threshold Saturation over BICM Channels
We study the performance of binary spatiallycoupled low-density parity-check codes (SC-LDPC) when used with bit-interleaved coded-modulation (BICM) schemes. This paper considers the cases when transmission takes place over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels and Rayleigh fast-fading channels. The technique of upper bounding the maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) decoding performance of LDPC c...
متن کاملSpatially-Coupled Codes and Threshold Saturation on Intersymbol-Interference Channels
Recently, it has been observed that terminated low-density-parity-check (LDPC) convolutional codes (or spatially-coupled codes) appear to approach capacity universally across the class of binary memoryless channels. This is facilitated by the “threshold saturation” effect whereby the belief-propagation (BP) threshold of the spatially-coupled ensemble is boosted to the maximum a-posteriori (MAP)...
متن کاملAdvances in Detection and Error Correction for Coherent Optical Communications: Regular, Irregular, and Spatially Coupled LDPC Code Designs
Forward error correction (FEC) in optical communications has been first demonstrated in 1988 [1]. Since then, coding technology has evolved significantly. This pertains not only to the codes but also to encoder and decoder architectures. Modern high-speed optical communication systems require high-performing FEC engines that support throughputs of 100 GBit/s or multiples thereof, that have low ...
متن کاملSparse Regression Codes
Developing computationally-efficient codes that approach the Shannon-theoretic limits for communication and compression has long been one of the major goals of information and coding theory. There have been significant advances towards this goal in the last couple of decades, with the emergence of turbo and sparse-graph codes in the ‘90s [1, 2], and more recently polar codes and spatially-coupl...
متن کاملImproving the Finite-Length Performance of Spatially Coupled LDPC Codes by Connecting Multiple Code Chains
In this paper, we analyze the finite-length performance of codes on graphs constructed by connecting spatially coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) code chains. Successive (peeling) decoding is considered for the binary erasure channel (BEC). The evolution of the undecoded portion of the bipartite graph remaining after each iteration is analyzed as a dynamical system. When connecting shor...
