Abstract
In this paper, we propose a construction method of irregular quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check codes based on perfect difference families with various block sizes. The proposed codes have advantages in that they support various values with respect to code rate, length, and degree distribution. Also, this construction enables very short lengths which are usually difficult to be achieved by a random construction. We verify via simulations the error-correcting performance of the proposed codes.
