In order to determine the girth of Tanner(5,7) quasi-cyclic( QC) LDPC codes with length 7p for p being a prime with the form 35 m + 1,the cycles of lengths 4,6,8,and 10 are analyzed. Then these cycles are classified into sixteen categories,each of which can be expressed as an ordered block sequence,or a certain type. It is also shown that the existence of these cycles is equal to polynomial equations over Fpwho has a 35th unit root. We check if these polynomial equations have a 35th unit root and obtain the girth values of Tanner(5,7) QC LDPC codes.展开更多

Random projection code’s mapping matrix has significant influences on decoding performance as well as hardware implementation complexity. To reduce hardware implementation complexity, we design a quasi-cyclic mapping matrix for RPC codes. Compared with other construction approaches, our design gets rid of data filter component, thus reducing chip area 7284.95 um2, and power consumption 331.46 uW in 0.13 um fabrication. Our simulation results show that our method does not cause any performance loss and even gets 0.2 dB to 0.5 dB gain at BER 10-4.展开更多

In addition, these constructed codes have the advantages of simple implementation and low-complexity encoding. Finally, the decoding approach for the proposed quantum QC LDPC is investigated.展开更多

In this paper, we present efficient hardware implementation schemes for NQCLDPC codes. First, we propose an implementation-oriented construction scheme for NQC-LDPC codes to avoid memory-access conflict in the partly parallel decoder. Then, we propose a Modified Overlapped Message-Passing(MOMP) algorithm for the hardware implementation of NQC-LDPC codes. This algorithm doubles the hardware utilization efficiency and supports a higher degree of parallelism than that used in the Overlapped Message Passing(OMP) technique proposed in previous works. We also present single-core and multi-core decoder architectures in the proposed MOMP algorithm to reduce memory cost and improve circuit efficiency. Moreover, we introduce a technique called the cycle bus to further reduce the number of block RAMs in multi-core decoders. Using numerical examples, we show that, for a rate-2/3, length-15360 NQC-LDPC code with 8.43-d B coding gain for Binary PhaseShift Keying(BPSK) in an Additive White Gaussian Noise(AWGN) channel, the decoder with the proposed scheme achieves a 23.8%–52.6% reduction in logic utilization per Mbps and a 29.0%–90.0% reduction in message-memory bits per Mbps.展开更多

Powerful error-correcting codes must be used with OFDM. This paper presents a quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded OFDM system, in which the redundant bits of each codeword are mapped to a higher-order modulation constellation. The optimal degree distribution was calculated using density evolution. The corresponding quasi-cyclic LDPC code was then constructed using circulant permutation matrices. Group shuffled message passing scheduling was used in the iterative decoding. Simulation results show that the system achieves better error rate performance and faster decoding convergence than conventional approaches on both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channels.展开更多
