This paper presents methods to the construction of regular and irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes based on Euclidean geometries over the Galois field. Codes constructed by these methods have quasi-cyclic (QC) structure and large girth. By decomposing hyperplanes in Euclidean geometry, the proposed irregular LDPC codes have flexible column/row weights. Therefore, the degree distributions of proposed irregular LDPC codes can be optimized by technologies like the curve fitting in the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts. Simulation results show that the proposed codes perform very well with an iterative decoding over the AWGN channel.

In this paper, we propose two novel high-rate high-performance space-time codes for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. When $n_T$ transmit antennas and When $n_R$ ＝ When $n_T$ receive antennas are deployed, the two proposed codes respectively offer transmission rates of (When $n_T$ -1) and (When $n_T$ -2) symbols per channel use and diversity orders of 3 and 5. As a consequence, our proposed codes allow the MIMO systems to employ a simple detection technique based on QR decomposition. Moreover, for equal or even higher spectral efficiencies, our proposed codes always provide much better bit error rate (BER) performances than V-BLAST architecture does when When $n_R$ ＝ When $n_T$. Computer simulation is given to verify performances of our proposed codes.

Currently, since the black-white QR (Quick Response) codes have limited storage capacity, color QR codes have been actively being studied. By multiplexing 3 colors, the color QR codes can allow the code capacity to be increased by three times, however, the color multiplexing brings about the possibility of crosstalk and noises in the acquisition process of the final image, incurring the decrease of bit-recognition rate. In order to improve the bit recognition rate, while keeping the storage capacity high, this paper proposes a new type of color QR code which uses the pattern information as well as the color information, and then analyzes how to increase the bit recognition rate. For this aim, the paper presents an efficient system which extracts embedded information from color QR code and then, through practical experiments, it is shown that the proposed color QR codes improves the bit recognition rate and are useful for commercial applications, compared to the conventional color codes.

It is known that the progressive edge-growth (PEG) algorithm can be used to construct low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes at finite code lengths with large girths through the establishment of edges between variable and check nodes in an edge-by-edge manner. In [1], the authors derived a class of LDPC codes for relay communication systems by extending the full-diversity root-LDPC code. However, the submatrices of the parity-check matrix H corresponding to this code were constructed separately; thus, the girth of H was not optimized. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a modified PEG algorithm for use in the design of large girth and full-diversity LDPC codes. Simulation results indicated that the LDPC codes constructed using the modified PEG algorithm exhibited a more favorable frame error rate performance than did codes proposed in [1] over block-fading channels.

With the rapid growth of internet technologies and wide availability of multimedia computing facilities, the enforcement of multimedia copyright protection becomes an important issue. Digital watermarking is viewed as an effective way to deter content users from illegal distributions. In recent years, digital watermarking has been intensively studied to achieve this goal. However, when the watermarked media is transmitted over the channels modeled as the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, the watermark information is often interfered by the channel noise and produces a large number of errors. So many error-correcting codes have been applied in the digital watermarking system to protect the embedded message from the disturbance of the noise, such as BCH codes, Reef-Solomon (RS) codes and Turbo codes. Recently, low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes were demonstrated as good error correcting codes achieving near Shannon limit performance and outperforming turbo codes nth low decoding complexity. In this paper, in order to mitigate the channel conditions and improve the quality of watermark, we proposed the application of LDPC codes on implementing a fairly robust digital image watermarking system. The implemented watermarking system operates in the spectrum domain where a subset of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients is modified by the watermark without using original image during watermark extraction. The quality of watermark is evaluated by taking Into account the trade-off between the chip-rate and the rate of LDPC codes. Many simulation results are presented in this paper, these results indicate that the quality of the watermark is improved greatly and the proposed system based on LDPC codes is very robust to attacks.

Recently, LDPC codes received a lot of attention in 4G. LDPC codes perform good error correction at high SNR. But LDPC codes are complex design and not good at low SNR. At low SNR, convolution codes and turbo codes show more good performance than LDPC codes. The main subject presented in this study is that parallel encoding and decoding according to SNR. The system chooses convolution codes at low SNR and chooses LDPC codes at high SNR.

In this paper, we drive a theoretical performance of complementary code keying (CCK) codes on additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The CCK codes can be demodulated by the optimal maximum likelihood decoding method and sub-optimal correlation magnitude decoding algorithm. We calculate the bit error rate (BER) and symbol or codeword error rate (SER) of the CCK codes using the above mentioned two decoding algorithms. To derive the error performance, we use the weigh distributions and cross-correlation distributions of CCK codes.

In this paper, DC-free and minimum bandwidth binary line codes with look-up table are proposed and their performances are analyzed. As results of performance analysis, the proposed codes are shown to have spectral nulls at DC and Nyquist frequency. Among the proposed codes, binary line codes of which both codeword digital sum and alternating digital sum are zero have lower code rate but better spectral characteristics. Furthermore, binary line codes which consist of all codewords including those with nonzero digital sum and alternating digital sum have worese spectral characteristics but higher code rate.

Recently, various artificial intelligence technologies are being applied to smart factory, finance, healthcare, and so on. When handling data requiring protection of privacy, distributed learning techniques are used. For distribution of information with privacy protection, encoding private information is required. Minimal codes has been used in such a secret-sharing scheme. In this paper, we explain the relationship between the characteristics of the minimal codes for application in distributed systems. We briefly deals with previously known construction methods, and presents extension methods for minimal codes. The new codes provide flexibility in distribution of private information. Furthermore, we discuss application scenarios for the extended codes.

Luby transform (LT) codes are a class of ratelss codes, and they have capability of generating infinite length of parities with a given information length. These rateless codes can be effectively utilized to provide broadcasting and multicasting services where each user is in a different channel condition. For this reason, there have been a number of researches on the application of rateless codes for satellite systems. In this paper, by considering the current research status on rateless codes, we present VHLD implementation results of LT codes, for future hardware implementation for satellite systems. The results demonstrated in this paper can be utilized as a basic information on efficient utilization of rateless codes in the future satellite systems.
