Abstract

In Chapter 4, we introduce low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, a class of powerful and efficient channel codes which admit a graphical representation based on sparse bipartite graphs. This chapter introduces fundamental concepts in LDPC coding theory and guides the reader through unstructured and structured LDPC code ensembles, including the important case of protograph-based LDPC code ensembles.
