Quasi-cyclic low-density (QC-LDPC) codes benefit from efficient encoding hardware and display excellent error correcting performance. Therefore, they have been accepted into the 5G standards in addition to being potential candidates for next generation mobile systems. However, dominant trapping sets in the Tanner graphs cause some failures for the iterative decoding algorithm. In this letter, we propose a simulated annealing based method to find regular QC-LDPC codes without dominant trapping sets and have good error floor performance. Simulation results show that our proposed method generates QC-LDPC codes that have the best trapping sets distribution among recent works and better frame rate performance than others.
