Generalized Low-Density Parity-Check Coding Aided Multilevel Codes

– Classic Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes have recently been used as component codes in Multilevel Coding (MLC) due to their impressive BER performance as well as owing to their flexible coding rates. In this paper, we proposed a Multilevel Coding invoking Generalized Low-Density Parity-Check (GLDPC) component codes, which is capable of outperforming the classic LDPC component codes at a reduced decoding latency, when communicating over AWGN and uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channels.
