An improved new structure of single parity check product codes
Hongjun Xu, Fambirai Takawira · SAIEE Africa Research Journal · 2006
This paper proposes an improved new structure of Single Parity Check (SPC) product codes with an embedded interleaver. The complexity of decoding the new SPC product codes is the same as the one of the existing single parity check product codes by use of the message passing algorithm. Simulation results and bound analysis demonstrate a significant bite error rate (BER) performance improvement compared to the existing single parity check product codes for high code rates at medium signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).
