An LDPC parity check matrix originated using an array code provides more protection against errors for parity bits 1 through 1-p, which can, during decoding, allow faster convergence to a higher LLR value for those bits as well as higher overall reliability of other parity check bits. The present parity check matrix provides an upper triangular sub-matrix (H<SUB>1</SUB>) for the parity check bits, where column weights for parity bits 1 through p-1 can be greater than 1. Aspects include encoders to encode user bits using the parity check matrix, decoders to decode based on the parity check matrix, systems comprising encoders and/or decoders, encoder and decoder methods; as well as computer readable media comprising programs for implementing such methods.
