Quarter-rate LDPC code and its truncated performance for the cloud transmission

This paper explains the structure of a newly designed quarter-rate low density parity check (LDPC) code for the cloud transmission system, and presents its truncated performance under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Since new quarter-rate LDPC code has fountain code´s property, at the receiver, it can be decoded with truncated codeword for power saving and less latency under high signal to noise ratio (SNR) regions. By computer simulation, the truncated LDPC code shows the same or worse performance compared with the dedicated DVB-T2/S2 LDPC code.
