Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a novel method for constructing quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC LDPC) codes based on cyclic subgroup over GF(q) . LDPC codes constructed by this method are quasi-cyclic (QC) and they perform very well over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) with sum product algorithm (SPA). The main advantage is that QC LDPC codes with a variety of block lengths and rates can be easily constructed with no cycles of length four or less. Simulation results show that the proposed QC LDPC codes perform slight better than the random regular LDPC codes for short to moderate block lengths. Since the codes are QC, they can be encoded using simple shift registers with linear complexity.
