Zipper codes are a framework for describing spatially-coupled product-like codes. Many well-
known codes, such as staircase codes and braided block codes, are subsumed into this …

Spatially-coupled low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, which were first introduced as
LDPC convolutional codes, have been shown to exhibit excellent performance under low …

Product codes (PCs) protect a 2-D array of bits using short component codes. Assuming
transmission over the binary symmetric channel, the decoding is commonly performed by …

In this paper, we introduce the concept of spatially coupled turbo-like codes (SC-TCs) as the
spatial coupling of a number of turbo-like code ensembles. In particular, we consider the …

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) convolutional codes (or spatially coupled codes) were
recently shown to approach capacity on the binary erasure channel (BEC) and binary-input …

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) convolutional codes (or spatially-coupled codes) have

Designing error-correcting codes for optical communication is challenging mainly because
of the high data rates (eg, 100 Gbps) required and the expectation of low latency, low …

We introduce zipper codes, a new framework for describing spatially-coupled product-like
codes. This framework consists of a zipping pair, an interleaver map, and a constituent code …

We propose a novel binary message passing decoding algorithm for product-like codes
based on bounded distance decoding (BDD) of the component codes. The algorithm …

Product codes (PCs) and staircase codes (SCCs) are conventionally decoded based on
bounded distance decoding (BDD) of the component codes and iterating between row and …
