Algebraic Constructions of Girth-Eight Quasi-Cyclic Matrices with a Multitude of Redundant Rows
The absence of small cycles in the Tanner graph and the presence of redundant rows in the parity-check matrix (PCM) are two main tactics to improve the decoding performance of a quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) code from the construction point of view. Existing systematic methods to yield a PCM with a...
