In this paper, we propose a new method to design low-density parity-check Hadamard (LDPC-Hadamard) codes, a type of ultimate-Shannon-limit approaching channel codes. The technique is based on applying Hadamard constraints to the check nodes…

We consider a special family of SC-LDPC codes, that is, time-invariant LDPCC codes, which are known in the literature for a long time. Codes of this kind are usually designed by starting from QC block codes, and applying suitable unwrapping…
