Column-Weight Three QC LDPC Codes with Girth 20

摘要

In this paper, some well-structured block designs are presented whose incidence matrices can be considered as the mother matrices of some regular and irregular column-weight three quasi cyclic low-density parity-check codes of girth 20. The class of LDPC codes derived from our construction possesses much more flexibility in terms of code length and rate. Moreover, the length of the regular constructed codes with rate at most 0.5 is at least 4.9 times smaller than the length of the voltage graph LDPC codes with the same rate and girth. Simulation results show that the constructed codes outperform progressive edge growth, repeat accumulate and random LDPC codes.
