Weight Distribution for Non-binary Cluster LDPC Code Ensemble
In this paper, we derive the average weight distributions for the irregular
non-binary cluster low-density parity-check (LDPC) code ensembles. Moreover, we
give the exponential growth rate of the average weight distribution in the
limit of large code length. We show that there exist -regular
non-binary cluster LDPC code ensembles whose normalized typical minimum
distances are strictly positive.Comment: 12pages, 6 figures, To be presented in ISIT2013, Submitted to IEICE

On a Low-Rate TLDPC Code Ensemble and the Necessary Condition on the Linear Minimum Distance for Sparse-Graph Codes
This paper addresses the issue of design of low-rate sparse-graph codes with
linear minimum distance in the blocklength. First, we define a necessary
condition which needs to be satisfied when the linear minimum distance is to be
ensured. The condition is formulated in terms of degree-1 and degree-2 variable
nodes and of low-weight codewords of the underlying code, and it generalizies
results known for turbo codes [8] and LDPC codes. Then, we present a new
ensemble of low-rate codes, which itself is a subclass of TLDPC codes [4], [5],
and which is designed under this necessary condition. The asymptotic analysis
of the ensemble shows that its iterative threshold is situated close to the
Shannon limit. In addition to the linear minimum distance property, it has a
simple structure and enjoys a low decoding complexity and a fast convergence.Comment: submitted to IEEE Trans. on Communication
Numerical and analytical bounds on threshold error rates for hypergraph-product codes
We study analytically and numerically decoding properties of finite rate
hypergraph-product quantum LDPC codes obtained from random (3,4)-regular
Gallager codes, with a simple model of independent X and Z errors. Several
non-trival lower and upper bounds for the decodable region are constructed
analytically by analyzing the properties of the homological difference, equal
minus the logarithm of the maximum-likelihood decoding probability for a given
syndrome. Numerical results include an upper bound for the decodable region
from specific heat calculations in associated Ising models, and a minimum
weight decoding threshold of approximately 7%.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figure
Modern Coding Theory: The Statistical Mechanics and Computer Science Point of View
These are the notes for a set of lectures delivered by the two authors at the
Les Houches Summer School on `Complex Systems' in July 2006. They provide an
introduction to the basic concepts in modern (probabilistic) coding theory,
highlighting connections with statistical mechanics. We also stress common
concepts with other disciplines dealing with similar problems that can be
generically referred to as `large graphical models'.
While most of the lectures are devoted to the classical channel coding
problem over simple memoryless channels, we present a discussion of more
complex channel models. We conclude with an overview of the main open
challenges in the field.Comment: Lectures at Les Houches Summer School on `Complex Systems', July
