METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DESIGNING LOW DENSITY PARITY CHECK CODE WITH MULTIPLE CODE RATES, AND INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM THEREOF

摘要

A method and apparatus for generating a low density parity check (LDPC) code having a variable code rate, the method of generating the LDPC code having a variable code rate including: generating a first parity check matrix by combining a parity matrix or a parity check matrix and a first information word matrix; and generating a second parity check matrix by combining the first parity check matrix and a second information word matrix. According to the method and apparatus, error correction performance is enhanced.
