A Class of Non-binary Regular Girth-8 LDPC Codes for Optical Communication Channels
Murat Arabaci, Ivan B. Djordjević, Ross Saunders, Roberto M. Marcoccia · 2009
We investigate the feasibility of non-binary, regular LDPC codes for optical transmission. Our results indicate that non-binary codes not only beat their bit-length-matched binary counterparts in performance but also admit 3.26 times less complex decoders.
