The most appropriate low density parity check (LDPC) code for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) system suitable for future multimedia communication systems is presented in this paper. HARQ system with punctured LDPC code is investigated at first. And two transmission schemes with parallel concatenated LDPC code are also presented and their performances are analyzed according to the various values of mean column weight (MCW). As a result, the parallel concatenated LDPC code with the diversity effect of information bit is considered to be more appropriate for HARQ system considering the throughput as well as error performance.
