A novel approach to generating long low-density parity-check codes using two configurations
Morteza Esmaeili, Mohammad Hesam Tadayon · IET Communications · 2008
A new low-complexity generating method is given for the construction of long low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. The method is based on performing a combinatorial operation between two given configurations. Combinatorial structures such as lattices, affine and projective planes are considered as the constituent configurations. Using this method, we present several classes of well-structured four-cycle free LDPC codes of high rates most of which are quasi-cyclic. From among the main advantages of this approach, we may refer to its low-complexity property and the fact that from performance perspective the constructed codes compete with the pseudorandom LDPC codes.
