An array low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is a quasi-cyclic LDPC code specified by two integers $q$ and $m$, where $q$ is an odd prime and $m \leq q$. The exact minimum distance, for small $q$ and $m$, has been calculated, and tight…

Two upper bounds on the minimum distance of type-1 quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC LDPC) codes are derived. The necessary condition is given for the minimum code distance of such codes to grow linearly with the code length.
