Generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes, where single parity-check constraints on the code bits are replaced with generalized constraints (an arbitrary linear code), are a promising class of codes for low-latency communication.…

We introduce fair-density parity-check (FDPC) codes targeting high-rate applications. In particular, we start with a base parity-check matrix $H_b$ of dimension $2 \sqrt{n} \times n$, where $n$ is the code block length, and the number of…
