  • Abstract
    We study the ability of low-rate Serially-Concatenated Low Density Generator Matrix (SCLDGM) codes to approach theoretical limits. Although two layer SCLDGM codes approach capacity for medium rates (0.25 <; R <; 0.9), they do not perform adequately for lower rates. In this case, substantial performance improvements are obtained using three layers.
