In this paper, we consider the construction of cyclic and quasi-cyclic structured q-ary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over a designated small field. The construction is performed with a pre-defined sliding-window, which actually executes the regular mapping from original field to the targeted field under certain parameters. Compared to the original codes, the new constructed codes can provide better flexibility in choice of code rate, code length and size of field. The constructed codes over small fields with code length from tenths to hundreds perform well with q-ary sum-product decoding algorithm (QSPA) over the additive white Gaussian noise channel and are comparable to the improved spherepacking bound. These codes may found applications in wireless sensor networks (WSN), where the delay and energy are extremely constrained.

In this paper, we evaluated error correction performance and recording density of an optical disc system. The performance of Low-Density Parity Check code (LDPC) is compared to the HD-DVD (BD) ECC. The recording density of optical disc can be increased by reducing the redundancy of the user data. Moreover, since the correction capability of LDPC with decreased redundancy is better than that of BD, the recording density can also be increased by reducing the mark length of the data on the disc surface.

본 논문에서는 단일 반송파 시스템에서 LDPC(low density parity check) 부호와 LMS(least mean square) 알고리즘을 이용한 적응 등화기를 사용한 시스템에서 간단한 계산을 통한 궤환 신호를 생성하여 성능을 향상 시키는 개선된 터보 등화기를 제안한다. LDPC부호는 오류를 정정하는데 있어서 매우 좋은 성능을 보인다. 그러나 LDPC 부호는 열악한 환경에서 좋은 성능을 내기 위하여 긴 패리티 검사행렬을 사용하고 LDPC 부호의 반복을 증가시켜 계산량이 크게 늘어난다. 추가로 성능을 더욱 향상시키기 위해 LDPC 부호 기반의 터보 등화 방법을 사용한다. 이 시스템의 경우 반복횟수의 증가로 계산량이 매우 크게 증가하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 계산량의 증가를 보완하기 위하여 LDPC 부호와 연판정 이후의 신호를 이용하여 적응 등화기를 조절한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 더 적은 계산량으로 LDPC 부호를 사용하고 SISO-MMSE(soft input soft output minimum mean square error)알고리즘 기반인 터보 등화기에 근접하는 성능을 내는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 오류정정부호의 하나인 LDPC 패리티검사 행렬을 생성 하는 방법에 관한 논문으로 또 다른 오류정정부호의 하나인 길쌈부호를 이용하여 LDPC 패리티검사 행렬을 생성하면 터보부호처럼 LDPC 부호에서도 다양한 부호율을 쉽게 얻을 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 또한 복호기에서 LDPC에서의 복호방식 뿐 아니라 길쌈부호의 복호방식인 비터비알고리즘도 적용할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 또한 보통의 오류정정부호의 경우 프레임크기가 커야 오류정정성능이 안정적으로 나오는데, 새로 제시하는 방식을 통해 프레임크기가 작은 부호의 경우에도 성능열화를 어느 정도 막을 수 있다.

Quantum low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes based on the Calderbank-Shor-Steane construction have low encoding and decoding complexity. The sum-product algorithm(SPA) can be used to decode quantum LDPC codes; however, the decoding performance may be significantly decreased by the many four-cycles required by this type of quantum codes. All four-cycles can be eliminated using the entanglement-assisted formalism with maximally entangled states (ebits). The proposed entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting code based on Euclidean geometry outperform differently structured quantum codes. However, the large number of ebits required to construct the entanglement-assisted formalism is a substantial obstacle to practical application. In this paper, we propose a novel class of entanglement-assisted quantum LDPC codes constructed using classical Euclidean geometry LDPC codes. Notably, the new codes require one copy of the ebit. Furthermore, we propose a construction scheme for a corresponding zigzag matrix and show that the algebraic structure of the codes could easily be expanded. A large class of quantum codes with various code lengths and code rates can be constructed. Our methods significantly improve the possibility of practical implementation of quantum error-correcting codes. Simulation results show that the entanglement-assisted quantum LDPC codes described in this study perform very well over a depolarizing channel with iterative decoding based on the SPA and that these codes outperform other quantum codes based on Euclidean geometries.

A low density parity check (LDPC) decoder provides a most powerful error control capability for mobile communication devices and storage systems, due to its performance being close to Shannon's limit. In this paper, we introduce an efficient overlapped LDPC decoding algorithm using a upper dual-diagonal parity check matrix structure. By means of this algorithm, the LDPC decoder can concurrently execute parts of the check node update and variable node update in the sum-product algorithm. In this way, we can reduce the number of clock cycles per iteration as well as reduce the total latency. The proposed decoding structure offers a very simple control and is very flexible in terms of the variable bit length and variable code rate. The experiment results show that the proposed decoder can complete the decoding of codewords within 70% of the number of clock cycles required for a conventional non-overlapped decoder. The proposed design also reduces the power consumption by 33% when compared to the non-overlapped design.

The LDPC Code is focusing a powerful FEC(Forward Error Correction) codes for 4G Mobile Communication system. LDPC codes are used minimizing channel errors by modeling AWGN Channel as VDSL system. The performance of LDPC code is better than that of turbo code in long code word on iterative decoding algorithm. LDPC code are encoded by sparse parity check matrix. there are decoding algorithms for a LDPC code, Bit Flipping, Message passing, Sum-Product. Because LDPC Codes use low density parity bit, mathematical complexity is low and relating processing time becomes shorten.

In this paper, a new decoding scheme is proposed to improve the error correcting performance of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region by using post-processing. It behaves as follows: First, a conventional LDPC decoding is applied to received LDPC codewords one by one. Then, we count the number of word errors in a predetermined number of decoded codewords. If there is no word error, nothing needs to be done and we can move to the next group of codewords with no delay. Otherwise, we perform a proper post-processing which produces a new soft-valued codeword (this will be fully explained in the main body of this paper) and then apply the conventional LDPC decoding to it again to recover the unsuccessfully decoded codewords. For the proposed decoding scheme, we adopt a simple product code structure which contains LDPC codes and simple algebraic codes as its horizontal and vertical codes, respectively. The decoding capability of the proposed decoding scheme is defined and analyzed using the parity-check matrices of vertical codes and, especially, the combined-decodability is derived for the case of single parity-check (SPC) codes and Hamming codes used as vertical codes. It is also shown that the proposed decoding scheme achieves much better error correcting capability in high SNR region with little additional decoding complexity, compared with the conventional LDPC decoding scheme.
