In this paper, we propose a method to construct parity-check matrices of Quasi Cyclic (QC) LDPC codes based on the progressive edge-growth (PEG) algorithm with maximized girth property. The proposed algorithm can eliminate short cycles and improve the decoding performance. Simulation results illustrate that the codes constructed with the proposed algorithm have superior performance to the previous PEG-QC codes over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. At the BER of 10-7, the coding gain of 0.005 dB.
