In this paper, we propose the construction of Raptor code using LDGM code instead of LDPC code as precode. To see their merits, the simulations are done. The results show that the performance in case of using LDGM code is worse than that of using LDPC code as precode, and the complexity of encoding LDGM code is lower than that of LDPC.

We present upper bounds for the maximum-likelihood decoding performance of particular LDPC codes and turbo-like codes with particular interleavers. Previous research developed upper bounds for LDPC codes and turbo-like codes using ensemble codes or the uniformly interleaved assumption, which bound the performance averaged over all ensemble codes or all interleavers. Proposed upper bounds are based on the simple bound and estimated weight distributions including the exact several smallest distance terms because if either estimated weight distributions on their own or the exact several smallest distance terms only are used, an accurate bound can not be obtained.

In this paper we have investigated a novel approach applying low-density parity-check coding to a COFDM-CDMA system, which operates in a multi-path fading mobile channel. Developed as a linear-block channel coder, the LDPC code is known for a superior signal reception capability in AWGN and/or flat fading channels with respect to increased encoding rates, however, its performance degrades when the communication channel becomes multi-path fading. For a typical multi-path fading mobile channel with a SNR of 16㏈ or lower. in order to obtain a BER lower than 1 out of 10000, the LDPC code with encoding rates below 1:3 requires not only the inherent parity check information but also the piloting information for refreshing front-end equalizer taps of COFDM-CDMA, periodically. For instance, while the 1:3-rate LDPC coded transmission symbol is consisted of data bits and parity-check bits in 1 to 3 proportion, on the other hand, in the proposed method the same rate LDPC transmission symbol contains data bits, parity check bits, and pilot bits in 1 to 2 to 1 proportion, respectively. The included pilot bits are effective not only for channel estimation and channel equalization but for symbol decoding by assisting the parity-check bits, hence, improving SNR vs BER performance over the conventional 1:3-rate LDPC code. The proposed system performance has been verified using computer simulations in multi-path, Rayleigh fading channels, and the results show us that the proposed method out-performs the general LDPC channel coding methods in terms of SNR vs BER measurements.

The low-density parity check(LDPC) code is being widely used due to its outperformed error-correction ability. The decoder of the quasi-cyclic LDPC(QC-LDPC) codes, a kind of LDPC codes, requires a multi-size cyclic shifter(MSCS) performing rotation of various sizes. The MSCS can be implemented with a Benes network, which requires a $3{\times}3$ switch if the number of data to be rotated is a multiple of 3. This paper proposes a control signal generation with lower complexity and a faster $3{\times}3$ switch. For the experiment, the proposed schemes are applied to the MSCS of an IEEE 802.16e WiMAX QC-LDPC code decoder. The result shows that the delay is reduced by about 8.7%.

디지털 신호 및 전송부호의 오류검출에는 예전부터 패리티 체크가 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 패리티 체크 기법은 구현 및 알고리즘이 단순, 간결한 우수성이 있지만 특정 데이터 비트의 경우 오류 검출이 불가능하다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이후 패리티 체크 기법은 해밍 코드 및 채널 오류 정정을 위한 LDPC 코드와 같은 다양한 오류검출 및 정정 알고리즘에 적용되어 발전되어 왔으며, 그 중 LDPC 코드의 bit-flipping 알고리즘에서는 패리티 기법을 반복적으로 적용하는 방식을 택하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 채널 오류 정정을 위한 LDPC의 bit-flipping 알고리즘을 이차원 코드에 적용하고, 이 때 bit-flipping 알고리즘이 가지고 있는 문제점을 보완할 수 있는 개선된 LDPC 코드를 제안한다.

One of various low-density parity-check(LDPC) codes that has been adopted in many communication standards due to its error correction ability is a quasi-cyclic LDPC(QC-LDPC) code, which leads to comparable decoder complexity. One of the main blocks in the QC-LCDC code decoder is a multi-size circular shifter(MSCS) that can perform various size rotation. The MSCS can be implemented with many structures, one of which is based on Banes network. The Benes network structure can perform the normal MSCS operation efficiently, but it cannot use the properties coming from specifications like rotation sizes. This paper proposesd a scheme where the Benes network structure can use the rotation size property with the modification of the control signal generation. The proposed scheme is applied to the MSCS of IEEE 802.16e WiMAX QC-LDPC decoder to reduce the number of MUXes and the critical path delay.

일반적으로 주어진 하나의 H matrix 로 다수의 코드율을 가지는 코드화가 가능하다. 하지만 Low Density Parity Check(LDPC) 코드의 H matrix는 H matrix 내의 1의 개수와 위치에 따라 그 성능이 달라짐으로 해서 하나의 H matrix로 다수의 코드율을 대응하기 위한 설계 방법이 요구된다. H matrix 의 성능은 일반적으로 girth나 minimum distance에 의해 좌우되고 H matrix의 1의 위치에 따라 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 H matrix의 girth 와 minimum distance에 입각한 다수 개의 코드율이 대응 가능한 LDPC code의 H matrix 설계 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 이렇게 함으로써 하나의 H matrix로 다수의 코드율에 따른 각각의 성능을 일정 수준 이상 유지하는 multi-rate LDPC code가 가능하다.

최근 이슈가 되고 있는 클라우드 컴퓨팅은 대용량의 데이터를 분산 저장하고 제공할 수 있는 클러스터 파일 시스템을 필요로 한다. 이러한 클러스터 파일 시스템은 높은 신뢰성과 고가용성을 보장하기 위해서 파일 복제 기법을 사용하고 있다. 가장 많이 쓰이고 있는 복제 기법은 전체-파일 복제 기법으로 높은 파일 가용성을 제공하지만 그만큼 스토리지 오버헤드가 크다는 단점이 있다. 또 다른 복제 기법으로는 LDPC 코드를 이용한 것으로 비교적 적은 스토리지 오버헤드를 가지면서 동시에 비슷한 수준의 파일 가용성을 제공한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 클러스터 파일 시스템을 위한 LDPC 코드 복제 기법의 최적화 방법을 제안한다.

Recently, WSN(wireless sensor networks) consists of several sensor nodes in sensor field. And each sensors have the enforced energy constraint. Therefore, it is important to manage energy efficiently. In WSN application system, FEC(Forward error correction) increases the energy efficiency and data reliability of the data transmission. LDPC(Low density parity check) code is one of the FEC code. It needs more encoding operation than other FEC code by growing codeword length. But this code can approach the Shannon capacity limit and it is also can be used to increase the data reliability and decrease the transmission energy. In this paper, the author adopt Linear-Congruence method at generating parity check matrix of LDPC(Low density parity check) codes to reduce the complexity of encoding process and to enhance the energy efficiency in the WSN. As a result, the proposed algorithm can increase the encoding energy efficiency and the data reliability.

In this paper, we proposed about data error check and correction on channel transmission in the communication system. LDPC codes are used for minimizing channel errors by modeling AWGN Channel as a VDSL system. Because LDPC Codes use low density parity bit, mathematical complexity is low and relating processing time becomes shorten. Also the performance of LDPC code is better than that of turbo code in long code word on iterative decoding algorithm. This algorithm is better than conventional algorithms to correct errors, the proposed algorithm assigns weights for errors concerning parity bits. The proposed weighted Bit-flipping algorithm is better than the conventional Bit-flipping algorithm and we are recognized improve gain rate of 1 dB.
