DESIGN OF IRREGULAR LDPC CODE WITH UNEQUAL ERROR PROTECTION PROPERTY AND ITS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS ON IMAGE TRANSMISSION

摘要

Based on the property that high degree variable nodes within an irregular LowDensity Parity-Check (LDPC) code have more powerful error-correcting capability than that of low degree variable nodes, a group of irregular LDPC codes with Unequal Error Protection (UEP)property is designed in this letter. Simulation results show that the transmission quality of the image may be effectively improved with this class of irregular LDPC code.
