Type‐II quasi‐cyclic low‐density parity‐check codes from Sidon sequences
Guohua Zhang · Electronics Letters · 2016
From Sidon sequences, two explicit methods for constructing (2 J , 2 L )‐regular type‐II quasi‐cyclic (QC) low‐density parity‐check (LDPC) codes are proposed without four cycles. The advantage of the new methods is two‐fold: (i) compared with the existing lower bound of circulant permutation matrix (CPM) sizes above which type‐II QC‐LDPC codes exist without four cycles, the novel constructions enable much tighter lower bounds; and (ii) the codes constructed by the first method perform almost as well as type‐II QC‐LDPC codes from perfect cyclic difference set, while possessing a much more flexible CPM sizes.
