提出了利用可分解的可分组设计构造低密度校验码的新方法,所构造的低密度校验码的围长至少为6,且码率、码长灵活可变.同时,基于可分解的可分组设计,又构造了一类掩模矩阵,从而利用掩模技术,得到了更多的准循环低密度校验码.数值结果表明,在加性高斯自噪声信道上,采用和积译码算法,所提出的低密度校验码的性能优异且迭代收敛快.此外,掩模后的准循环低密度校验码比掩模前有较大的误码率/误帧率性能提升.
A new construction method for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is presented based on resolvable group divisible designs (RGDDs). The resulting LDPC codes are free of 4-cycle. With the use of RGDDs, a class of masking matrices is also constructed, and then many more quasi-cyclic (QC) LDPC codes are obtained by the masking technique. Numerical results show that the proposed LDPC codes with iterative decoding using the sum-product algorithm perform very well over the AWGN channel. Furthermore, the QC-LDPC codes constructed based on masking have a better BER/FER performance than the original ones.
