Construction of Multi-Rate QCLDPC codes using a search-based method for satellite communication
摘要
This paper proposes a novel approach forconstructing multi-rateQuasi–Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check (MR QCLDPC) codes for satellite communication with various code rates. The low-rate codes are created from a higher-rate mother code with the same fundamental decoder architecture. Multilateral shortening, extending, and partial masking is used to construct Multi-Rate QCLDPCcodes. The circulant permutation matrix based on a finite fieldis constructed to obtain exponent matrices. The proposed codes haveachieved a coding gain between 0.4dB and 0.6 dB for different code rates using less time than the existing search-based methods.The proposed codes performed better when decoded using amin-sum layered decoder. The bit error rate of the proposed codes is below
