Because of the system delay caused by the number of feedback retransmission in Distributed Video Coding (DVC) scheme, it is difficult to realize practical DVC in many cases. In this paper low feedback retransmission Distributed Source Coding (DSC) scheme is proposed for practical DVC scheme based on Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes because DVC system is an specific application of DSC system. This DSC scheme is achieved by using different LDPC codes optimized in each different compression rate and using source revealing scheme. Optimized LDPC codes provide us much better decoding performance which causes the 57% reduced number of iteration. Consequently, the number of feedback retransmission is decreased by 50%.

LDPC(low density parity check) 부호는 낮은 복잡성과 Shannon의 한계에 근접하는 오류 정정 능력을 보이기 때문에 turbo 부호와 함께 많은 응용분야에 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 분산 동영상 부호화(distributed video coding: DVC) 시스템을 위한 부호율 적응적인(rate adaptive) LDPC 부호를 설계하기 위하여 패리티 점검 노드를 병합하는 방법을 제안한다. ACE(approximation cycles EMD) 알고리즘을 기반으로 효율적인 LDPC 부호를 설계하고 부호율 적응적인 특성을 갖기 위해 일정한 범위를 지정하고 지정된 범위에 따라 패리티 점검 노드를 병합한다. 그리고 ACE 알고리즘의 계수와 degree distribution을 변화시키면서 성능을 해석한다.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive FEC scheme in visible light communication using white LED. To this end, we investigate the red, green and blue mixing ratio of white LED in order to achieve the white color, and the mixing ratio of those wavelength can be defined as 4 types. Based on those properties, the FEC technique is applied to the wavelength band with the lowest mixing ratio according to mixing ratio types. At that point, we use a LDPC channel coding scheme as the FEC technique. Therefore, the proposed system can mitigate the reduction of data rate and improve total BER performance.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In this paper, in order to design an efficient packet structure, we employ channel coding scheme and phase recovery algorithm. For channel coding scheme, half rate LDPC channel coding scheme with N=1944 and K=972 was used. Also, decision directed phase recovery was used for correcting phase offset induced by multipath. Based on these algorithms, we propose length of data for optimal packet structure in the environment of oceanic experimentation.

LDPC, known for its excellent error correction capability, has been adopted as the channel coding technique in the IRIG 106 standard, which is standard for data transmission methods in the aerospace field. Iterative codes such as LDPC require large block sizes and number of iterations in order to improve performance. However, large number of iterations induce computational complexity and power consumption. To solve these problems, this paper presents a parity check-based early stop algorithm that reduces the average number of iterations while maintaining the same performance. BER performance and iteration reduction amounts are compared between early stop algorithm and conventional method that has fixed number of iterations for various coding rate and information bit size defined in the IRIG 106 standard. Through simulation results, we confirmed required iteration numbers are reduced about 50% above without performance loss.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In order to improve the performance, it is necessary to employ an iterative coding scheme. Among the iterative coding scheme, turbo codes and LDPC codes are dominant channel coding schemes in recent. This paper concluded that turbo coding scheme is optimal for underwater communications system in aspect to performance, coded word length, and equalizer combining. Also, we confirmed the performance in the environment of oceanic experimentation using turbo equalizer based on distance 5Km, data rate 1Kbps.

Low Density Parity Check codes(LDPC) are recently focused on communication systems due to its good performance. The standard of WiBro has also included LDPC codes as a channel coding. The weak point of implementation for LDPC encoder is that conventional binary Matrix Vector Multiplier has many clock cycles which limit throughput. In this paper, we propose semi-parallel architecture by using cyclic shift registers and exclusive-OR without conventional Matrix Vector Multipliers over the standard parity check matrices with Circulant Permutation Matrices(CPM). Furthermore, multi-rate encoder is designed by using proposed architecture. Our encoder with multi-rate for IEEE 802.16e LDPC has lower clock cycles and higher throughput.

We consider the challenges of finding good puncturing patterns for rate-compatible low-density parity-check code (LDPC) codes over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. Puncturing is a scheme to obtain a series of higher rate codes from a lower rate mother code. It is widely used in channel coding but it causes performance is lost compared to non-punctured LDPC codes at the same rate. Previous work, considered the role of survived check nodes in puncturing patterns. Limitations, such as single survived check node assumption and simulation-based verification, were examined. This paper analyzes the performance according to the role of multiple survived check nodes and multiple dead check nodes. Based on these analyses, we propose new algorithm to find a good puncturing pattern for LDPC codes over AWGN channels.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In order to improve the performance, it is necessary to employ an iterative coding scheme. Among the iterative coding scheme, turbo codes, LDPC codes and convolutional code based on BCJR algorithm are dominant channel coding schemes in recent. Therefore this paper analyzed the performance of iterative codes based on turbo equalizer with the same coding rate and similar codeword length. The performances of three kinds of iterative codes were evaluated in the environment of underwater acoustic communication channel that are real data collected in Korean east sea. The distance of transmitter and receiver was 5Km and data rate was 1Kbps. As a result, convolutional code based on BCJR algorithm has better performance in underwater channel than turbo codes and LDPC codes.

Although Wyner-Ziv (WZ) video coding proves useful for applications employing encoders having restricted computing resources, the WZ decoder has a problem of excessive decoding complexity. It is mainly due to its iterative LDPC channel decoding process which repeatedly requests incremental parity data after iterative channel decoding of parity data received at each request. In order to solve the complexity problem, we divide bit planes into two groups and estimate the minimum required number of parity requests separately for the two groups of bit planes using bit plane correlation. The WZ decoder executes the iterative decoding process only after receiving parity data corresponding to the estimated minimum number of parity requests. The proposed method saves about 71% of the computing time in the LDPC decoding process.
