Abstract :
Since the introduction of coherent transponders, forward error correction based on soft decision is now established in optical communication. In this tutorial, we give a descriptive introduction of one class of commonly used codes, namely LDPC codes. Also we discuss new developments, e.g. convolutional LDPC codes.
