Low Error Floor Concatenated LDPC for MIMO Systems
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output, or MIMO is the use of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance. MIMO technology has attracted attention in wireless communications; because it offers significant increases in data throughput and spectral efficiency without additional bandwidth or increased transmit power. To achieve the mentioned above performance Bit Error Rates (BER) should be low. For this reason efficient encoding and decoding algorithms should be used. MIMO systems rely on error-control coding to ensure reliable communication in the presence of noise. Forward Error Correction Codes (FEC) such as convolutional and block codes were investigated for MIMO systems. Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) shows good performance except that an error floor may appear at high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). In this work we propose a concatenated error control code that reduces the error floor of LDPC codes suffering from error floor. The proposed scheme is a good candidate for high rates real time communication since it reduces the decoding latency as well.
