This paper presents an approach to the construction of multiple-rate quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Parity-check matrices of the proposed codes consist of $q{\times}q$ square submatrices. The block rows and block columns of the parity-check matrix correspond to the hyperplanes (${\mu}$-fiats) and points in Euclidean geometries, respectively. By decomposing the ${\mu}$-fiats, we obtain LDPC codes of different code rates and a constant code length. The code performance is investigated in term of the bit error rate and compared with those of LDPC codes given in IEEE standards. Simulation results show that our codes perform very well and have low error floors over the additive white Gaussian noise channel.

In this paper, we propose a new rate-control scheme, called splining, to construct low-rate codes from high-rate codes by splitting rows of the parity-check matrices of LDPC codes, which can construct rate-compatible LDPC codes having good initial transmission performance. Good low-rate codes can be constructed by making the number of distinct check node degrees as small as possible after splitting. The proposed scheme achieves good cycle property, low decoding complexity, and fast convergence speed, especially compared to the puncturing. Especially, rate-compatible repeat accumulate-type LDPC (RA-Type LDPC) code is constructed using splitting, which covers the code rates from 1/3 to 4/5. Through simulation it is shown that this code outperforms other rate-compatible RA-Type LDPC codes for all rates and can be decoded conveniently and efficiently.

We consider the challenges of finding good puncturing patterns for rate-compatible low-density parity-check code (LDPC) codes over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. Puncturing is a scheme to obtain a series of higher rate codes from a lower rate mother code. It is widely used in channel coding but it causes performance is lost compared to non-punctured LDPC codes at the same rate. Previous work, considered the role of survived check nodes in puncturing patterns. Limitations, such as single survived check node assumption and simulation-based verification, were examined. This paper analyzes the performance according to the role of multiple survived check nodes and multiple dead check nodes. Based on these analyses, we propose new algorithm to find a good puncturing pattern for LDPC codes over AWGN channels.

In this paper, we propose a multiple-disseminators determining mechanism for Efficient Code Dissemination with low-delay(ECoDi) for wireless sensor networks (WSN). Code dissemination is in the spotlight as an important research issue since sensor nodes are necessary for updating new software remotely or fixing bugs dynamically. In particular, the time factor for code dissemination is the most important factor in order that the normal operation of nodes can be continuously performed as soon as finishing the dissemination. For this factor, ECoDi determines the set of disseminators through regression analysis based on the size of distributed code and the time of past unicasts and broadcasts. Then it transmits the entire code as a unicast to multiple disseminators, and the disseminators broadcast the code to the remaining neighbor nodes. Performance results on a testbed show that ECoDi reduces dissemination time significantly compared to a conventional scheme.

최근 터보 부호에 비해서 구현시 복잡하지 않고, 높은 부호화율에서 거의 샤논 이론에 접근하는 Turbo Product Code에 대해 관심이 고조되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 Turbo Product code 복호기에서 row과 column을 직렬로 복호를 하지 않고 복호 구조가 병렬로 동작하는 Turbo Product code 복호기를 제안한다. 모의 실험을 한 결과 기존의 방식에 비해 복호 지연이 줄어들고 성능면에서 직렬 방식과 거의 비슷한 성능이 나타난다.

Ward에 의해 제안된 순차적 추정에 기반을 둔 의사 잡음 부호 획득 방법은 비교적높은 신호대잡음비 환경에서는 우수한 성능을 보이지만, 낮은 신호대잡음비 환경에서는 그 성능이 크게 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 부호 획득에서 실제적으로 관심을 두고 있는 낮은 신호대잡음비 환경에서도 우수한 성능을 지니는 시드 누적 순차적 추정기법과 이에 기반을 둔 부호 획득 시스템을 제안하고, 제안한 시스템의 평균 획득 시간 성능을 분석한다. 제안한 시드 누적 순차적 추정 기법을 이용한 부호 획득 시스템은 기존의 순차적 추정 기법을 이용한 부호 획득 시스템에 비해 낮은 신호대잡음비 환경에서 매우 우수한 성능을 지니며, 그 성능향상의 정도가 의사 잡음 부호의 주기가 증가할수록 더 커짐을 보인다.

In this paper we propose a new iterative decoding method of turbo code which computes the log-likelihood ratios at each MAP (maximum a posteriori) decoder in parallel in each iteration step and combines them with proper weights to produce better decisions. Our results indicate that the proposed decoding method is particularly useful for systems with limited number of iterations and low code rates.

In this work, we evaluated the performance of soft iterative decoder with soft block decoder in optical storage system. Because optical storage system requires run- length limited code in general, adaptation of the soft decoders such as turbo code or LDPC(low density parity check code) is difficult without soft block decoders. The performance of the overall optical detection system is evaluated and the simplified channel detection is also proposed.

In this paper, a new method of state code assignment for reduction of switching activities of state transition in asynchronous circuits is proposed. The algorithm is based on a on-hot code and modifies it to reduce switching activities. To estimate switching activities as a cost functions we introduce state transition probability (STP). AS a results, the proposed algorithm has an advantage of 60% over with the conventional code assignment in terms of switching and code length of state assignment.
