Abstract
This paper presents a new class of rate-compatible LDPC codes, protograph-based Raptor-like (PBRL) codes. The proposed PBRL codes are jointly decodable with an iterative belief propagation decoder. As with Raptor codes, additional parity bits can be easily produced by exclusive-or operations on the precoded bits, providing extensive rate compatibility. This paper provides a design procedure that optimizes this class of rate- compatible LDPC codes. The new PBRL codes outperform 3GPP rate-compatible turbo codes with the same short blocklength at high SNR and show no sign of an error floor at the FER region of $10^{-7}$.
