Abstract
En 中文
This paper presents a new type of globally-coupled low-density parity-check (GC-LDPC) codes whose base matrix has a cyclic structure in the global part. Therefore, the resulting codes are referred to as tail-biting GC-LDPC (TB-GC-LDPC) codes. We propose two methods to construct TB GC quasi-cyclic LDPC (TB-GC-QC-LDPC) codes. For the first method, we extract a replicated version of a constructed base matrix and mask it with a designed masking matrix. Compared to the conventional construction methods, this method provides more flexibility in code length for TB-GC-QC-LDPC codes. The second method is based on designing the incidence matrix of a special type of packings. Examples show that the constructed TB-GC-QC-LDPC codes perform well over the additive white Gaussian noise channel (AWGNC) and the binary erasure channel (BEC). The asymptotic performance of TB-GC-LDPC ensembles over BECs are also analyzed by resorting to density evolution. Moreover, numerical results show that TB-GC-LDPC ensembles can achieve better flooding-schedule decoding (FSD) thresholds than the corresponding GC-LDPC ensembles with a similar structure. With sufficient decoding iterations in the global phase, the local/global two-phase iterative decoding (TPD) thresholds of the TB-GC-LDPC ensembles significantly outperform those of the corresponding GC-LDPC ensembles as well.
