Local Loop Removal from Irregular LDPC Codes
Chunjiang Duanmu · Computer Era · 2011
In low-density parity-check(LDPC) codes,the small loops between low degree nodes are more detrimental to the decoding performance than those between high degree nodes.In order to reduce small loops,we propose a method of exchanging the edges between nodes.It first removes the small loops between low degree nodes as much as possible,and then removes the small loops from whole LDPC codes under the condition of ensuring the smallest loop between low degree nodes not to be changed.Finally,the simulation result of constructing LDPC codes by the method is compared with that by only removing the small loops from whole LDPC codes.
