Title
Joint Blind Frame Synchronization and Encoder Identification for Low-Density Parity-Check Codes
Abstract
In this paper, the problem involving joint blind frame synchronization and encoder identification for binary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes of binary phase-shift keyed (BPSK) signals is tackled. The unknown encoder and time-delay can be blindly estimated simultaneously using the average log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) of syndrome a posteriori probability (APP). A new two-stage search method with a search step of size q by exploiting the quasi-cyclic nature of the parity-check matrix is devised to reduce the complexity of the blind frame synchronization algorithm. Numerous Monte Carlo simulations are evaluated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new joint blind frame-synchronization and encoder-identification scheme for multi-path situations.
