A comparative analysis of LDPC decoders for image transmission over AWGN channel
Article No.: 4, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
In this paper we studied the performance of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. Different images are transmitted for two different LDPC decoders. Parity check matrices are used for encoding and decoding processes. The basic technique used to decode the message is message passing algorithm. We have used the image of 256x256 for our experiments. Minimum error rate is achieved at a code rate of 0.5 and row weight of 4. Different images are recovered at 10 dB SNR with a probability of error close to Shannon limit.

Doubly generalized LDPC codes over the AWGN channel
In this paper, the design of doubly generalized low-density parity-check (DGLDPC) codes is proposed. This approach generalizes the structure of LDPC codes at both check and variable nodes. The performance of DGLDPC codes over the AWGN channel is ...
Low-floor decoders for LDPC codes
One of the most significant impediments to the use of LDPC codes in many communication and storage systems is the error-rate floor phenomenon associated with their iterative decoders. The error floor has been attributed to certain subgraphs of an LDPC ...
Source-channel optimized trellis codes for bitonal image transmission over AWGN channels
We consider the design of trellis codes for transmission of binary images over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. We first model the image as a binary asymmetric Markov source (BAMS) and then design source-channel optimized (SCO) trellis ...
