In this paper, we represent Raptor codes as multi-edge type low-density parity-check (MET-LDPC) codes, which gives a general framework to design them for higher-order modulation using MET density evolution. We then propose an efficient…
Recent works showed how low-density parity-check (LDPC) erasure correcting codes, under maximum likelihood (ML) decoding, are capable of tightly approaching the performance of an ideal maximum-distance-separable code on the binary erasure…
We present Kovalenko's full-rank limit as a tight lower bound for decoding error probability of LDPC codes and LT codes over BEC. From the limit, we derive a full-rank overhead as a lower bound for stable overheads for successful…
Let $C$ be a linear code of length $n$ and dimension $k$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$. The trace code $\mathrm{Tr}(C)$ is a linear code of the same length $n$ over the subfield $\mathbb{F}_q$. The obvious upper bound for the…
