Analysis of stopping constellation distribution for irregular non-binary LDPC code ensemble
T. Nozaki, Kenta Kasai, Kohichi Sakaniwa · 2011
The fixed points of the belief propagation decoder for non-binary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are referred to as stopping constellations. In this paper, we give the stopping constellation distributions for the irregular non-binary LDPC code ensembles defined over the general linear group. Moreover, we derive the exponential growth rate of the average number of the stopping constellation distributions in the limit of large code length.
