研究目的
To design rate-compatible quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes with more ?exible rates and better performance using an improved extension method based on protograph extrinsic information transfer (PEXIT) charts.
研究成果
The proposed improved extension method based on PEXIT charts successfully designs rate-compatible QC-LDPC codes with more ?exible rates and better performance compared to existing codes. The method involves constructing the masking matrix for the highest-rate code with the lowest decoding threshold, extending it to lower-rate codes, and designing base matrices with minimal short cycles. Simulations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed codes in achieving flexible rates and superior performance.
研究不足
The study focuses on the design and simulation of QC-LDPC codes without physical implementation or testing in real-world communication systems. The performance is evaluated under specific conditions (e.g., additive white Gaussian noise channel with BPSK modulation), which may not cover all practical scenarios.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs an improved extension method based on PEXIT charts to design QC-LDPC codes. The methodology involves constructing the masking matrix of the highest-rate code column by column to achieve the lowest decoding threshold, followed by an extension algorithm to obtain masking matrices for lower-rate codes.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study uses QC-LDPC codes with specific parameters (e.g., q = 111, 444 for the highest-rate code and q = 250, m1 × n1 = 8 × 24, R1 = 16/24 for lower-rate codes) to validate the proposed method.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study does not specify physical equipment but relies on computational methods and simulations to evaluate the performance of the designed codes.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The procedure includes constructing the masking matrix for the highest-rate code, applying the extension algorithm for lower-rate codes, designing base matrices with minimal short cycles, and obtaining parity-check matrices through matrix extension.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Performance is evaluated based on decoding thresholds and the number of short cycles, with simulations conducted over an additive white Gaussian noise channel with BPSK modulation.
