一类基于B2（mod m）序列的准循环LDPC码

基于B2(modm)序列,提出一种构造二元低密度奇偶校验(LDPC)码的新方法.这类编码的校验矩阵列重为3、行重为任意整数,并且具有准循环(QC)结构.校验矩阵对应的Tanner图围长至少为8,对应的最小距离至少为12.当m为素数时,提出一种减少8环的方法,使得Tanner图中4类可能的8环中两类被完全消除.仿真结果表明,m为素数时新LDPC码的译码性能优于渐进边增长(PEG)算法随机产生的(准)规则LDPC码.此外,提出一种基于邻域扩展搜索的启发式算法,利用该算法可以获得长度接近或达到上界的B2(modm)序列.

A class of quasi-cyclic LDPC codes from B2（mod m）sequences

A new class of binary low-density parity-check(LDPC)codes is proposed based on B2(mod m) sequences.The parity-check matrix of such a code has a column weight of three and a row weight of an arbitrary integer,and a quasi-cyclic structure.The parity-check matrix also has a girth at least 8,and corresponds to a code with minimal distance at least 12.When m is prime,an 8-cycles reduction method is presented to completely avoid the two types of 8-cycles within the total four types existed in the Tanner graph.Simulation results show that,for a prime integer m,the new LDPC code outperforms the random(quasi-)regular counterpart generated by the PEG algorithm.Finally,a heuristic algorithm based on a strategy called neighboring extension search is presented to search for the B2(mod m)sequences whose lengths approach or meet the upper bound.
