Abstract:

For general encoding algorithm of low density parity check (LDPC) codes over GF(q), a Tanner graph and research encoding algorithm is presented based on lower upper (LU) decomposition. In order to keep sparsity of matrix, three pivot selection criterias named row pivot, rowcolumn pivot and product of rowcolumn pivot are deduced and analyzed. Simulations show that the new algorithm could be lower than one half density compared with existing algorithm. The conclusion is useful to application of universal encoding algorithm for LDPC codes over GF(q).
