Design of LDPC Codes Based on Progressive Edge Growth Techniques for Block Fading Channels

Abstract

A novel algorithm to design Root-Check LDPC codes based on Progressive Edge Growth (PEG) techniques for block-fading channels is proposed. The performance of the new codes is investigated in terms of the Frame Error Rate (FER) and the Bit Error Rate (BER). Numerical results show that the codes constructed by the proposed algorithm outperform codes constructed by the existing methods by 0.5dB.
