Abstract

Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes are recently emerged due to its excellent performance to use. However, the parity check matrices (H) of the previous works are not adequate for hardware implementation of encoders or decoders. This paper proposes a hybrid parity check matrix for partially parallel decoder structures, which is efficient in hardware implementation of both decoders and encoders. Using proposed methods, the encoding design can become practical while keeping the hardware complexity of partially parallel decoder structures.
