Doubly Generalized LDPC Codes

The design of generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes at both check and bit nodes over AWGN channel is considered in this paper. The new codes are referred to as doubly generalized LDPC codes. EXIT charts are used to optimize the parameters of these codes. Both analysis and simulations show that this method can provide more flexibility in constructing codes with good threshold

Iterative Decoding With Replicas

Replica shuffled versions of iterative decoders for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and turbo codes are presented. The proposed schemes can converge faster than standard and plain shuffled approaches. Two methods, density evolution and extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts, are used to analyze the performance of the proposed algorithms. Both theoretical analysis and simulations show that the new schedules offer good tradeoffs with respect to performance, complexity, latency, and connectivity

Ensemble weight enumerators for protograph-based doubly generalized LDPC codes

Protograph-based doubly generalized LDPC (DGLDPC) codes are explored in this paper. We extend (and in the process simplify) the technique for computing the ensemble weight enumerators of protograph-based LDPC and GLDPC codes to DGLDPC codes. We find that with careful design, protograph-based DGLDPC codes can have a better asymptotic growth rate of minimum distance than that of the protograph-based LDPC and GLDPC codes. Simulation results confirm that protograph-based DGLDPC codes have a low error floor.

CTH08-2: EXIT Chart Analysis for Doubly Generalized LDPC Codes

The design of generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes at both check and bit nodes over AWGN channel is considered in this paper. The new codes are referred to as doubly generalized LDPC codes. EXIT charts are used to optimize the parameters of these codes. Closed forms of EXIT functions for some subcodes are presented. Both analysis and simulations show that this method can provide more flexibility in constructing codes with good threshold.
