Abstract

En 中文
This paper proposes protograph-based Raptor-like (PBRL) codes as a class of rate-compatible low-density parity-check codes for binary-input AWGN channels. As with the Raptor codes, exclusive-OR operations on precoded bits produce additional parity bits providing extensive rate compatibility. Unlike Raptor codes, each additional parity bit in the protograph is explicitly designed to optimize the density evolution threshold. During the lifting process, approximate cycle extrinsic message degree (ACE) and circulant progressive edge growth (CPEG) constraints are used to avoid undesirable graphical structures. Some density-evolution performance is sacrificed to obtain lower error floors, particularly at short blocklengths. Simulation results are shown for information block sizes of k = 1032 and 16 384. For a target frame error rate of 10(-5), at each rate, the k = 1032 and 16 384 code families perform within 1 dB and 0.4 dB of both the Gallager bound and the normal approximation, respectively. The 16 384 code family outperforms the best known standardized code family, namely, the AR4JA codes. The PBRL codes also outperform DVB-S2 codes that have the advantages of longer blocklengths and outer BCH codes. Performance is similar to RC code families designed by Nguyen et al. that do not constrain codes to have the PBRL structure and involve simulation in the optimization process at each rate.
