Abstract

Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes are considered to be used in many future communication systems. We will show in this work how the performance of a communication system is influenced when different bit to symbol mapping schemes of a higher order modulation (e.g.: 16-QAM) are combined with LDPC coding. To evaluate and optimize bit-to-symbol mapping methods, a modified version of density evolution is proposed. In addition, simulation results are shown which justify the use of density evolution as a method for qualitative analysis of different symbol mapping schemes in conjunction with LDPC coding. We propose novel mapping methods and show performance results in combination with LDPC coding.
