Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have attracted much attention over the past two
decades since they can asymptotically approach the Shannon capacity in a variety of data …

As one of the most classical data-storage systems, magnetic recording (MR) systems have
attracted a significant amount of research attention in the past several decades due to the …

The design of block codes for short information blocks (eg, a thousand or less information
bits) is an open research problem that is gaining relevance thanks to emerging applications …

Starting from Shannon's celebrated 1948 channel coding theorem, we trace the evolution of
channel coding from Hamming codes to capacity-approaching codes. We focus on the …

This paper discusses construction of protograph-based low-density parity-check (LDPC)
codes. Emphasis is placed on protograph ensembles whose typical minimum distance …

In this paper, a novel extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) analysis is presented for
protograph-based and multi-edge type low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. A protograph …

The design of block codes for short information blocks (eg, a thousand or less information
bits) is an open research problem which is gaining relevance thanks to emerging …

This paper presents a simple yet effective method for designing nested families of LDPC
codes. Rate compatible codes are essential for many communication applications, eg hybrid …

The development of error-correcting codes has been closely coupled with deep-space
exploration since the early days of both. Since the discovery of turbo codes in 1993, the …
