Abstract

Previous studies on low-density parity-check convolutional codes (LDPC-CC) reveal that LDPC-CC with rational parity-check matrices (RPCM) suffer from the unaffordable decoding latency/complexity due to the infinite memory order and the poor bit-error-rate performance due to the existence of length-4 cycles in the Tanner graph. However, in this paper, we show that every LDPC-CC with RPCM can be associated with an equivalent Tanner graph which can avoid the infinite memory order and undesired short length cycles but still implements the same constraints specified by the RPCM. Together with the iterative decoding based on belief propagation with proper scheduling, simulation results indicate that LDPC-CC with RPCM can also provide satisfactory decoding performance.
