基于改进高斯近似方法的LT码度数分布设计

高斯近似是一种用来分析基于Tanner图的信道编译码性能和进行度数分布设计的有效方法,但是在对LT码进行分析时,不能准确计算译码过程中的迭代消息.在此方法的基础上,结合LT码译码的特点,提出迭代盒的概念,对LT码的BP解码中的迭代消息密度函数进化过程进行分析.在LT码消息迭代模型基础上,运用微分演化方法对LT码的输出度数分布进行优化.仿真表明,经过度数分布优化的LT码的抗误码性能有了明显的提高.

双LT码防窃听方案设计

针对传统LT码在窃听信道中窃听者截获效率较高的问题,提出一种双LT码编码的防窃听方案。该方案在传统LT编码的基础上,将第一次LT编码得到的部分码字作为第二次LT编码的信源再次进行LT编码,推迟接收者译码开始时间,致使合法接收者先于窃听者译码概率增加,窃听者无法继续接收LT码并对所接收到的LT符号进行译码,进而使其截获效率降低。实验结果表明,双LT码防窃听方案与其它防窃听LT码相比,仅增加少量译码开销,但是却使窃听者的截获效率大幅度降低。

基于度1的二次LT编码信息安全传输设计

由于窃听信道中的LT编码可以有效降低窃听者的截取信息效率,设计出一种基于LT码中的度1符号再次进行LT编码的防窃听信道编码方法,先将LT码的部分编码矩阵依据度大小重新排列,对排列后得到的连续度1符号进行第二次LT编码,利用BP译码恢复LT码需要度1符号,从达到延迟窃听者开始译码时间、降低窃听者截获效率的目的。实验结果表明,与传统防窃听LT码相比,该方法提出的LT防窃听码在几乎不增加合法接收者译码符号数量情况下,可以使窃听者的截获效率降幅更为明显。     

Forward Error Correction Coding for Fading Compensation in Mobile Satellite Channels

Fading in mobile satellite communications severely degrades the performance of data transmission. The channel is modeled with nonfrequency selective Rice and Rayleigh fading. Also, stored channel simulation is used for hardware data transmission. FEC coding with Viterbi decoding of convolutional codes, and Berlekamp-Massey decoding of Reed-Solomon codes, are used to compensate for the fading. In addition to interleaving, channel state and erasure information improve the performance of the decoder. The BER after decoding is calculated for specific codes on several channels and for different transmission schemes. Using very simple channel state and erasure information gives 2-7 dB additional coding gain. These gains have been verified by hardware data transmission on synthetic fading channels and stored mobile satellite channels.

Burst Erasure Correcting LDPC Codes

In this paper low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are designed for burst erasure channels. Firstly, lower bounds for the maximum length erasure burst that can always be corrected with message-passing decoding are derived as a function of the parity-check matrix properties. We then show how paritycheck matrices for burst erasure correcting LDPC codes can be constructed using superposition, where the burst erasure correcting performance of the resulting codes is derived as a property of the stopping set size of the base matrices and the choice of permutation matrices for the superposition. This result is then used to design both single burst erasure correcting LDPC codes which are also resilient to the presence of random erasures in the received bits and LDPC codes which can correct multiple erasure bursts in the same codeword.
