They are linear block codes and their bit error rate (BER) performance approaches remarkably close to the Shannon limit. The LDPC codes created much interest after the rediscovery by Mackay and Neal in 1995. This paper introduces some new LDPC codes by considering some combinatorial structures. We present regular LDPC codes based on group divisible designs which have Tanner graphs free of four-cycles.展开更多

文摘Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes were first presented by Gallager in 1962.
