Title
Array based quasi-cyclic LDPC codes and their tight lower bounds on the lifting degree.
Abstract
In this paper, we study a special class of quasi-cyclic LDPC (QC-LDPC) codes, the array codes proposed by J. Fan. We first generalize the array codes from primes to arbitrary positive integers, and then construct QC-LDPC codes by employing the row and column selection method. For given numbers of rows and columns, we can obtain the non-isomorphic row and column index sets based on isomorphism theory, and then construct non-isomorphic QC-LDPC codes accordingly. Based on cycle distributions of the constructed codes, the excellent QC-LDPC codes can be selected. Numerical results show that the proposed QC-LDPC codes have good performance under iterative decoding. Furthermore, based on the exhaustive search of the non-isomorphic row and column index sets, tight lower bounds on the lifting degree of array based QC-LDPC codes can be also obtained for a given girth value.
