In this paper, the effects of LLR (Log-Likelihood Ratio) approximation on LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) decoder performance are analyzed, and optimal design conditions of LDPC decoder are derived. The min-sum LDPC decoding algorithm which is based on an approximation of LLR sum-product algorithm is modeled and simulated by MATLAB, and it is analyzed that the effects of LLR approximation bit-width and maximum iteration cycles on the bit error rate (BER) performance of LDCP decoder. The parity check matrix for IEEE 802.11n standard which has block length of 1,944 bits and code rate of 1/2 is used, and AWGN channel with QPSK modulation is assumed. The simulation results show that optimal BER performance is achieved for 7 iteration cycles and LLR bit-width of (7,5).

Most communication systems including Wibro use quasi-cyclic LDPC codes composed of circulants. However, it is very difficult to design quasi-cyclic(QC) LDPC codes with optimal degree distribution satisfying conditions on layered decoding and girth due to the restriction of the size of its base matrix. In this paper, we propose a good solution by introducing superposition matrices to QC LDPC codes. We derive the conditions on checking girth of QC LDPC codes with superposition matrices, and propose new decoder to support layered decoding both for original QC LDPC codes and their modifications with superposition matrices. Simulation results show considerable improvements to convergence speed and error-correcting performance of proposed scheme which adopts QC LDPC codes with superposition matrices.

The memory is very sensitive to the soft error because the integration of the memory increases under low power environment. Error correcting codes (ECCs) are commonly used to protect against the soft errors. This paper proposes a new genetic ECC design method which reduces power consumption. Power is minimized using the degrees of freedom in selecting the parity check matrix of the ECCs. Therefore, the genetic algorithm which has the novel genetic operators tailored for this formulation is employed to solve the non-linear power optimization problem. Experiments are performed with Hamming code and Hsiao code to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.

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.

Let p be an odd prime number. We introduce simple and useful decoding algorithm for orthogonal Latin square codes of order p. Let H be the parity check matrix of orthogonal Latin square code. For any x ${\in}$ GF(p)$^{n}$, we call xH$^{T}$ the syndrome of x. This method is based on the syndrome decoding for linear codes. In L$_{p}$, we need to find the first and the second coordinates of codeword in order to correct the errored received vector.

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, we consider the encoding scheme of Low Density Parity Check codes. In particular, using the Jacket Pattern and circulant permutation matrices, we propose the simple encoding scheme of Richardson's lower triangular matrix. These encoding scheme can be extended to a flexible code rate. Based on the simple matrix process, also we can design low complex and simple encoders for the flexible code rates.

In this paper, we propose a decision feedback equalizer based on LDPC(Low Density Parity Check) code for the fast processing and performance improvement in OFDM system. LDPC code has good error correcting capability and its performance approaches the Shannon capacity limit. However, it has longer parity check matrix and needs more iteration numbers. In our proposed system, MSE(Mean Square Error) of signal between decision device and decoder is fed back to equalizer. This proposed system can improve BER performance because it corrects estimated channel response more accurately. In addition, the proposed system can reduce complexity because it has a lower number of iterations than system without feedback at the same performance. Simulation results evaluate and show the performance of OFDM system with the CFO and phase noise in multipath channel.

With the proposed principle of two-dimensional matrix bar code design based on masks, the whole surface of a 2D bar code is used for creating graphic patterns. Masks are a method of overlaying certain information with complete preservation of encoded information. In order to ensure suitable mask performance, it is essential to create a set of masks (mask folder) which are similar to each other. This ultimately allows additional error correction on the whole code level which is proven mathematically through an academic example of a QR code with a matrix of size $9{\times}9$. In order to create a mask folder, this article will investigate parameters based on Weber's law. With the parameters founded in the research, this principle shows how QR codes, or any other 2D bar code, can be designed to display two different messages. This ultimately enables a better description of a 2D bar code, which will improve users' visual recognition of 2D bar code purpose, and therefore users' greater enjoyment and involvement.
