Abstract

In this contribution, we investigate the attainable performance of quasi-cyclic (QC) protograph Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes for transmission over both Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and uncorrelated Rayleigh channels. The codes presented are constructed using the Vandermonde matrix and benefit from both low-complexity encoding and decoding, low memory requirements as well as hardware-friendly implementations. Our simulation results demonstrate that the advantages offered by this family of QC protograph LDPC codes accrue without any compromise in the attainable Bit Error Ratio (BER) and Block Error Ratio (BER) performance. In fact, it is also shown that despite their implementational benefits, the proposed codes exhibit slight BER/BLER gains when compared to some of their more complex counterparts of the same length.
