On the design of low-density parity-check codes within 0.0045 dB of the Shannon limit

TLDR
Improved algorithms are developed to construct good low-density parity-check codes that approach the Shannon limit very closely, especially for rate 1/2.
Abstract
We develop improved algorithms to construct good low-density parity-check codes that approach the Shannon limit very closely. For rate 1/2, the best code found has a threshold within 0.0045 dB of the Shannon limit of the binary-input additive white Gaussian noise channel. Simulation results with a somewhat simpler code show that we can achieve within 0.04 dB of the Shannon limit at a bit error rate of 10/sup -6/ using a block length of 10/sup 7/.

Design of capacity-approaching irregular low-density parity-check codes

TL;DR: This work designs low-density parity-check codes that perform at rates extremely close to the Shannon capacity and proves a stability condition which implies an upper bound on the fraction of errors that a belief-propagation decoder can correct when applied to a code induced from a bipartite graph with a given degree distribution.

Low-Density Parity-Check Codes

TL;DR: A simple but nonoptimum decoding scheme operating directly from the channel a posteriori probabilities is described and the probability of error using this decoder on a binary symmetric channel is shown to decrease at least exponentially with a root of the block length.

Good error-correcting codes based on very sparse matrices

TL;DR: It is proved that sequences of codes exist which, when optimally decoded, achieve information rates up to the Shannon limit, and experimental results for binary-symmetric channels and Gaussian channels demonstrate that practical performance substantially better than that of standard convolutional and concatenated codes can be achieved.
