This modified Benes network is non-blocking and can perform any sorts of permutations, so it can support 19 modes specified in the WiMAX system. Furthermore, an efficient algorithm to generate the control signals for all the 2 × 2 switches in this network is derived, which can reduce the hardware complexity and overall latency of the modified Benes network. Synthesis results show that the proposed control signal generator can save 25.4% chip area and the overall network latency can be reduced by 36. 2%.展开更多

For the purpose of eliminating short cycles in the Tanner graph to guarantee performance, first an algorithm to enumerate the harmful short cycles in the protograph is designed, and then a greedy algorithm is proposed to assign proper permutation shifts to the circulant permutation submatrices in the parity check matrix after lifting. Compared with the existing deterministic edge swapping (DES) algorithms, the proposed greedy algorithm adds more constraints in the assignment of permutation shifts to improve performance. Simulation results verify that it outperforms DES in reducing short cycles. In addition, it is proved that the parity check matrices of the cyclic lifted QC-LDPC codes can be transformed into block lower triangular ones when the lifting factor is a power of 2. Utilizing this property, the QC- LDPC codes can be encoded by preprocessing the base matrices, which reduces the encoding complexity to a large extent.展开更多

To construct regular LDPC codes, a new method is proposed. Two simple inequations are adopted to avoid the short cycles in Tanner graph, which makes the girth of Tanner graphs at least 8. Because their parity-check matrices are made up of circulant matrices, the new codes are quasi-cyclic codes. They perform well with iterative decoding.展开更多

Based on Tanner graphs' isomorphism, we present an efficient search algorithm for finding non-isomorphic binary cyclic LDPC codes. Notice that the parity-check matrix H of the resulting code is square and not of full rank, and its row weight and column weight are the same. By replacing the ones in the same column of H with a nonzero element of fi nite fi elds GF(q), a class of NB-LDPC codes over GF(q) is obtained. Numerical results show that the constructed codes perform well over the AWGN channel and have fast decoding convergence. Therefore, the proposed NB-LDPC codes provide a promising coding scheme for low-latency and high-reliability communications.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a low-complexity soft DF scheme based on polar codes, which features two key techniques: a low-complexity cyclic redundancy check(CRC) aided list successive cancellation(CALSC) decoder and a soft information calculation method. At the relay node, a low-complexity CALSC decoder is designed to reduce the computational complexity by adjusting the list size according to the reliabilities of decoded bits. Based on the path probability metric of the CALSC decoder, we propose a method to compute the soft information of the decoded bits in CALSC. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme outperforms the soft DF based on low-density parity-check codes and the soft DF with belief propagation or soft cancellation decoder, especially in the case when the source-relay channel is at the high signal-to-ratio region.展开更多

Using tools of dynamical systems we prove that the trajectories of system are bounded and that open subsets of parameters exist, such that the system in the first octant has at most two singularities. For an open subset of the parameters space, the system is shown to have an invariant compact set and this is a topologically transitive attractor set. Finally, we find another open set in the parameters space, such that the system has two limit cycles each contained in different invariant planes. The work is completed with a numeric simulation showing the attractor is a strange attractor.展开更多

The parity check matrices of these type-Ⅱ QC-LDPC codes consist of the zero matrices with weight of 0, the circulant permutation matrices(CPMs) with weight of 1 and the circulant matrices with weight of 2(W2CMs). The introduction of W2CMs in parity check matrices makes it possible to achieve the larger minimum distance which can improve the error-correction performance of the codes. The Tanner graphs of these codes have no girth-4, thus they have the excellent decoding convergence characteristics. In addition, because the parity check matrices have the quasi-dual diagonal structure, the fast encoding algorithm can reduce the encoding complexity effectively. Simulation results show that the new type-Ⅱ QC-LDPC codes can achieve a more excellent error-correction performance and have no error floor phenomenon over the additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel with sum-product algorithm(SPA) iterative decoding.展开更多
