We study the decoding performance of low-density parity-check (LDPC) code based on Watermark scheme under different percentages of water-mark bits over 100 Gb/s differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) high-speed optical communication system. We also find the optimum percentage of water-mark bits according to the performance comparison. Simulation result shows an improvement of 0.5 dB net code gain by using the optimum Watermark scheme at a post-forward error correction bit error rate (BER) of 10-9, comparing with the traditional log-likelihood ratios belief propagation decoding algorithm. Also, for the same BER, there is a decrease in the number of iterations used in LDPC decoding.
