一种非规则广义LDPC码的构造方法

广义低密度奇偶校验(Generalized Low睤ensity Parity睠heck,GLDPC)码把低密度奇偶校验(Low睤ensity Parity睠heck,LDPC)码中的单奇偶校验(Single Parity睠heck,SPC)节点替换为校验能力更强的广义约束(Generalized Constraint,GC)节点,使其在中短码和低码率的条件下具有更低的误码率。传统GLDPC码要求基矩阵的行重等于分量码的码长,这限制了GLDPC码构造的灵活性。另外,相比于传统GLDPC码中GC节点位置的随机选取,GC节点的位置选择在GLDPC码的误码率性能上有一定的优化空间。针对以上两点,提出了一种基于渐进边增长(Progressive Edge-rowth,PEG)算法的非规则GLDPC码构造方法和一种基于Tanner图边数的GC节点位置选择算法。使用PEG算法生成的非规则LDPC码作为本地码,根据本地码的校验节点度使用多种分量码,结合GC节点位置选择算法构造非规则GLDPC码。仿真结果表明,与传统方法构造的GLDPC码相比,基于Tanner图边数的GC节点位置选择算法构造的非规则PEG-LDPC码在误码率和译码复杂度上均得到明显改善。

Doubly Generalized LDPC Codes over the AWGN Channel

In this paper, the design of doubly generalized low-density parity-check (DGLDPC) codes is proposed. This approach generalizes the structure of LDPC codes at both check and variable nodes. The performance of DGLDPC codes over the AWGN channel is analyzed using EXIT charts. Combined with differential evolution optimization, this analysis provides thresholds for DGLDPC codes that are better than that of LDPC and GLDPC codes with the same maximum variable degree. These theoretical thresholds are verified via simulations. Furthermore DGLDPC codes exhibit a lower error floor compared with their LDPC and GLDPC counterparts.     

Generalized LDPC codes and generalized stopping sets

A generalized low-density parity check code (GLDPC) is a low-density parity check code in which the constraint nodes of the code graph are block codes, rather than single parity checks. In this paper, we study GLDPC codes which have BCH or Reed-Solomon codes as subcodes under bounded distance decoding (BDD). The performance of the proposed scheme is investigated in the limit case of an infinite length (cycle free) code used over a binary erasure channel (BEC) and the corresponding thresholds for iterative decoding are derived. The performance of the proposed scheme for finite code lengths over a BEC is investigated as well. Structures responsible for decoding failures are defined and a theoretical analysis over the ensemble of GLDPC codes which yields exact bit and block error rates of the ensemble average is derived. Unfortunately this study shows that GLDPC codes do not compare favorably with their LDPC counterpart over the BEC. Fortunately, it is also shown that under certain conditions, objects identified in the analysis of GLDPC codes over a BEC and the corresponding theoretical results remain useful to derive tight lower bounds on the performance of GLDPC codes over a binary symmetric channel (BSC). Simulation results show that the proposed method yields competitive performance with a good decoding complexity trade-off for the BSC.

A class of generalized LDPC codes with fast parallel decoding algorithms

Given the Tanner graph of a generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) code, the decoding complexity is mainly dominated by the decoding algorithm of subcodes. In this paper, we propose a class of GLDPC codes with fast parallel decoding algorithm. The parity-check matrices of the newly constructed subcodes are composed of several square matrices, which can be viewed as elements of a finite field. Therefore the FFT-based a posteriori probability (APP) algorithm for nonbinary codes can be applied to decode the subcodes. When compared with the trellis-based APP algorithm, the FFT-based APP algorithm can be implemented in parallel and has lower complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed GLDPC codes perform well on AWGN channels.     

Generalized Low-Density Parity-Check Codes Based on Hadamard Constraints

In this paper, we consider the design and analysis of generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes in AWGN channels. The GLDPC codes are specified by a bipartite Tanner graph, as with standard LDPC codes, but with the single parity-check constraints replaced by general coding constraints. In particular, we consider imposing Hadamard code constraints at the check nodes for a low-rate approach, termed LDPC-Hadamard codes. We introduce a low-complexity message-passing based iterative soft-input soft-output (SISO) decoding algorithm, which employs the a posteriori probability (APP) fast Hadamard transform (FHT) for decoding the Hadamard check codes at each decoding iteration. The achievable capacity with the GLDPC codes is then discussed. A modified LDPC-Hadamard code graph is also proposed. We then optimize the LDPC-Hadamard code ensemble using a low-complexity optimization method based on approximating the density evolution by a one-dimensional dynamic system represented by an extrinsic mutual information transfer (EXIT) chart. Simulation results show that the optimized LDPC-Hadamard codes offer better performance in the low-rate region than low-rate turbo-Hadamard codes, but also enjoy a fast convergence rate. A rate-0.003 LDPC-Hadamard code with large block length can achieve a bit-error-rate (BER) performance of 10^-5 at -1.44 dB, which is only 0.15 dB away from the ultimate Shannon limit (-1.592 dB) and 0.24 dB better than the best performing low-rate turbo-Hadamard codes     

基于改进罚函数的LDPC码分层调度ADMM惩罚译码

通过增加伪码字的代价,基于交替方向乘子法（Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers,ADMM）的惩罚译码方法可以改善低密度奇偶校验（Low-Density Parity-Check,LDPC）码低信噪比区域的译码性能,同时具有低的译码复杂度.而减少ADMM惩罚译码的欧几里德投影次数、选择合适的消息调度策略和设计有效的罚函数是提高ADMM惩罚译码速度的三种重要方法.为了进一步提高ADMM惩罚译码速度,通过利用Wei等人提出的方法来减少欧几里德投影的次数,本文设计了基于I-l₁-PF罚函数的水平分层调度与垂直分层调度策略的两种LDPC码ADMM惩罚译码方法.仿真实验表明,与现有ADMM惩罚译码方法相比较,所设计的译码方法不仅具有较好的译码性能,而且能够显著降低LDPC码译码的平均迭代次数和平均译码时间.     

Generalized low-density parity-check codes for optical communication systems

This paper is concerned with investigating the performance of regular and irregular, randomlike and structured generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes for long-haul transmission. The proposed GLDPC codes outperform currently known turbo and low-density parity-check (LDPC) coding schemes with comparable parameters utilized in optical communication systems. For a GLDPC coding scheme with 23.6% redundancy, the largest so far reported coding gain of at least 11dB (at 40 Gb/s) is demonstrated.
