Abstract

In this paper, we investigate into the existence and various properties of absorbing sets in regular LDPC codes with variable node degree three. Also, we figure out the critical number of some absorbing sets that are believed to be the major cause of error floor in (3,5) Tanner LDPC codes.

본 논문에서는 변수노드의 차수가 3인 정칙 LDPC 부호의 absorbing 집합(AS)에 대한 여러 가지 성질을 알아본다. Girth가 인 경우, 가장 작은 absorbing 집합은 AS임을 보였고, 인 경우 이 AS가 가장 작은 fully absorbing 집합임을 증명하였다. 또한 (3,5) Tanner LDPC 부호에서 오류 마루의 주원인으로 꼽히는 몇몇 absorbing 집합의 critical number를 유도하였다.
