Low latency programmable encoder with outer systematic code and low-density parity-check code

摘要

Low-latency programmable encoders, and more particularly, low-latency programmable encoders which use low-density parity check (LDPC) codes in combination with an outer systematic code. The LDPC encoder is programmable for any irregular circulant-based LDPC code. The code profile, block length, number of block rows, and number of block columns can vary. The LDPC encoding and the outer systematic code encoding can proceed in a parallel manner (e.g., simultaneously) instead of in a serial manner.
