Some CG-SFC tools such as Rhapsody have the ability to build flowchart and generate code,but they do not check whether a given flowchart is correct or structural. For unstructured error ‘goto'statements will be generated randomly. We proposed three algorithms and some error recognition criteria to solve those problems. Structure recognition algorithm can recognize Selection,While/for and do-while structures. Error recognition algorithm incorporating criteria can check all the errors. At last,we develop a CG-SFC system,and compared with existing Rhapsody,it shows that the proposed algorithms are correct and effective.展开更多

The designed parity-check matrix is with rather random behavior. Simulation results show that the proposed method makes an improvement in bit error rate (BER) performance by 0.4 dB compared with that of Luby for AWGN channel. The proposed method decreases the complexity of decoding significantly, and improves the error correcting performance of LDPC codes. It has been shown that Henon chaotic model is a powerful tool for construction of good LDPC codes, which make it possible to apply the LDPC code in real communication systems.展开更多

The receiver performs two iterative decoding loops. In the outer loop, the soft information is exchanged between the PDA detector and the LDPC decoder. In the inner loop, it is exchanged between variable node and check node decoders inside the LDPC decoder. On the light of the Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) chart technique, an LDPC code degree profile optimization algorithm is developed for the doubly-iterative receiver. Simulation results show the doubly-receiver with optimized irregular LDPC code can have a better performance than the one with the regular one.展开更多

Through the ...In this paper, we conclude five kinds of methods for construction of the regular low-density parity matrix H and three kinds of methods for the construction of irregular low-density parity-check matrix H. Through the analysis of the code rate and parameters of these eight kinds of structures, we find that the construction of low-density parity-check matrix tends to be more flexible and the parameter variability is enhanced. We propose that the current development cost should be lower with the progress of electronic technology and we need research on more practical Low-Density Parity-Check Codes (LDPC). Combined with the application of the quantum distribution key, we urgently need to explore the research direction of relevant theories and technologies of LDPC codes in other fields of quantum information in the future.展开更多

Since the generator matrices are dense, and if the positions of "1" s are irregularity, the encoder needs to store every "1" of the generator matrices by using huge chip area. In order to solve this problem, we need to design the protograph LDPC codes with circular generator matrices. A theorem concerning the circulating property of generator matrices of nonsingular protograph LDPC codes is proposed. The circulating property of generator matrix of nonsingular protograph LDPC codes can be obtained from the corresponding quasi-cyclic parity check matrix. This paper gives a scheme of constructing protograph LDPC codes with circulating generator matrices, and it reveals that the fast encoding algorithm of protograph LDPC codes has lower encoding complexity under the condition of the proposed theorem. Simulation results in ad- ditive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels show that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the designed codes based on the proposed theorem is much better than that of GB20600 LDPC codes and Tanner LDPC codes.展开更多

An error control coding scheme based on low density parity check(LDPC) codes with soft decision decoding algorithm is proposed to improve the bit-error-rate(BER) performance of an on-off keying(OOK) modulated THz signal through atmospheric channel. The THz wave propagation characteristics and channel model in atmosphere is set up. Numerical simulations validate the great performance of LDPC codes against the atmospheric fading and demonstrate the huge potential in future ultra-high speed beyond Gbps THz communications.展开更多

This approach synthesizes two techniques: protograph LDPC codes and OFDM. One symbol of encoded information by protograph LDPC codes corresponds to one sub-carrier, namely the length of encoded information equals to the number of sub-carriers. The design of good protograph LDPC codes with short lengths is given, and the proposed proto- graph LDPC codes can be of fast encoding, which can reduce the encoding complexity and simplify encoder hardware implementa- tion. The proposed approach provides a higher coding gain in the Rayleigh fading channel. The simulation results in the Rayleigh fading channel show that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed time-frequency codes is as good as random LDPC- OFDM codes and is better than Tanner LDPC-OFDM codes under the condition of different fading coefficients.展开更多

To solve the problem, some theorems of the specific chosen parity-check matrix of QC-LDPC codes without small stopping sets and small girth are proposed. A novel construction for QC-LDPC codes with long block lengths is presented by multiplying mmin or the multiple of mmin, which is the minimum order of the identity matrix for the chosen parity-check matrix. The simulation results show that the specific chosen parity-check matrix of QC-LDPC codes can effectively avoid specified stopping sets and small girth and exhibit excellent BER performance than random LDPC codes with the same longer codes length.展开更多

To remove the phase ambiguity in the coherent detection system, differential-encoded 16QAM (DE-16QAM) is usually used, however, it will cause performance degradation about 3 dB as compared to the conventional 16QAM. To overcome the performance loss, a serial concatenated system with outer low density parity check (LDPC) codes and inner DE-16QAM is proposed. At the receiver, joint iterative differential demodulation and decoding (ID) is carried out to approach the maximum likelihood performance. Moreover, a genetic evolution algorithm based on the extrinsic information transfer chart is proposed to optimize the degree distribution of the outer LDPC codes. Both theoretical analyses and simulation results indicate that this algorithm not only compensates the performance loss, but also obtains a significant performance gain, which is up to 1 dB as compared to the conventional non-DE-16QAM.展开更多

The theoretical analysis and simulations show that the coded cooperation scheme obviously outperforms the coded non-cooperation one under the same code rate and decoding complex. The significant performance improvement can be virtually credited to the additional mutual exchange of the extrinsic information resulted by the LDPC code employed by the source and its counterpart used by the relay in both ideal and non-ideal cooperations.展开更多
