Protograph Designing of P-LDPC Codes via M 3 Method.

Recently, a mesh model-based merging (M3) method and four basic graph models were proposed to construct the double protograph low-density parity-check (P-LDPC) code pair of the joint source channel coding (JSCC). Designing the protograph (mother code) of the P-LDPC code with both a good waterfall region and lower error floor is a challenge, and few works have existed until now. In this paper, the single P-LDPC code is improved to further verify the availability of the M3 method, and its structure is different from the channel code in the JSCC. This construction technique yields a family of new channel codes with lower power consumption and higher reliability. The structured design and better performance demonstrate that the proposed code is hardware-friendly.
