Performance analysis of short length low density parity check codes

Abstract

Outstanding bit error rate LDPC design in waterfall region and error floor region is one of the challenging tasks for the past decade. This chapter, focuses on the design of LDPC encoder with the low error floor and waterfall region of BER with minimum trapping set. Scheduled Progressive Edge-Growth (SPEG) LDPC encoder is used, and the simulation result of density evolution and exit chart are giving the better convergence of LDPC encoder. BER performance in error floor can controlled by minimum trapping set and waterfall region controlled by scheduled PEG LDPC encoder (1000, 500) with code length (n) is less than 600. The girth of the SPEG encoder is 8. SPEG with minimum trapping set will perform well for short length code also and it converges faster than the other PEG encoder.
