Abstract
Low Density Parity Check codes(LDPC) are recently focused on communication systems due to its good performance. The standard of WiBro has also included LDPC codes as a channel coding. The weak point of implementation for LDPC encoder is that conventional binary Matrix Vector Multiplier has many clock cycles which limit throughput. In this paper, we propose semi-parallel architecture by using cyclic shift registers and exclusive-OR without conventional Matrix Vector Multipliers over the standard parity check matrices with Circulant Permutation Matrices(CPM). Furthermore, multi-rate encoder is designed by using proposed architecture. Our encoder with multi-rate for IEEE 802.16e LDPC has lower clock cycles and higher throughput.
