Chutima Prasartkaew, Somsak Choomchuay · 2013
This paper presents a construction algorithm for the short block irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. By applying a magic square theorem as a part of the matrix construction, a newly developed algorithm, the so-called Magic Square Based Algorithm (MSBA), is obtained. The modified array codes are focused on in this study since the reduction of 1s can lead to simple encoding and decoding schemes. Simulation results based on AWGN channels show that with the code rate of 0.8 and SNR 5 dB, the BER of �� �� can
