High performance, flexible, and compact low-density parity-check (LDPC) code

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to techniques for puncturing of structured low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for a high-performance, flexible, and compact LDPC code. Certain aspects can enable LDPC code designs to support large ranges of rates, blocklengths, and granularity, while being capable of fine incremental redundancy hybrid automatic repeat request (IR-HARQ) extension while maintaining good floor performance, a high-level of parallelism to deliver high throughout performance, and a low description complexity.
