Abstract :
We propose a novel code design technique for irregular LDPC convolutional codes. The constructed codes can be encoded continuously in real time with the help of a shift-register based encoder. For moderate values of the syndrome former memory, simulation results show that the constructed codes outperform LDPC block codes with comparable hardware (processor) complexity.
