The invention relates to an eight-ring QC-LDPC (Quasi-Cyclic
Low Density Parity Check) code construction method based on a subtraction construction
search algorithm. According to the method, a first row is fixed by using a Golomb Ruler sequence, the last two rows are obtained by using
a search algorithm constructed based on subtraction to form an index matrix meeting a condition without 4 and 6 rings, and finally, the index matrix is correspondingly expanded to obtain a
parity check matrix of the index matrix, so that four rings and six rings do not exist in a
Tanner graph of the check matrix, the required storage space is small, and hardware implementation is easy. A
simulation result shows that compared with an SS-QC-LDPC code, a DDS-QC-LDPC code, a GR-QC-LDPC code, an LETS-QC-LDPC code and a GRS-QC-LDPC code which have the same
code rate and code length, the SC-QC-LDPC code constructed by the method has the advantages that the net
coding gain is improved to a certain degree, and the constructed SC-QC-LDPC code has better
waterfall region performance in a high
signal-to-
noise ratio region and has no obvious error leveling phenomenon.
