Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to low-density parity-check code (LDPC) encoding technology, in particular to a rate-compatible LDPC encoding method and encoder. Background technique
[0002] Low-Density Parity-Check Codes (Low-Density Parity-Check Codes, LDPC) is a class of linear block codes, and its check matrix can be represented by a binary matrix, such as figure 1 As shown, each column has j 1s (that is, the column weight is j), each row has k 1s (that is, the row weight is k), and other elements are zero, where jβ₯3, k>j, and j and k are Smaller integer. The check matrix of LDPC can also be represented by a bidirectional graph, which is now generally called a Tanner graph. The Tanner graph corresponds directly to the binary check matrix. like figure 2 As shown, below the Tanner graph is the variable node (s 0 ,s 1 ,...,s 9 ), which can be considered as a bit in a codeword, or a column in a check matrix; the above is a check node (c 0 , c ...
