Low-Density Parity-Check Codes: Generalizations
Abstract
Generalizations of LDPC codes: In Chapter 9, we present code ensembles that may be regarded as special instances, generalization, or modifications of LDPC code ensembles introduced in Chapter 4. This chapter starts with spatially coupled LDPC codes, introduced within a protograph-based framework, then addresses generalized LDPC codes, where some of the CNs impose multiple linear constraints, and finally describes low-density generator matrix codes. Erasure decoding algorithms are described for all code classes.
