Abstract

This paper designs two protograph LDPC codes with code-rate $R > 1/2$. A simple method using the protograph extrinsic information transfer (PEXIT) to design the codes with a low decoding threshold and the asymptotic weight enumerator (AWE) to evaluate the error floor of the codes is deployed. Simulation results show that the proposed codes have a better error floor than prior art protograph codes and offer higher rate protographs.
