Popis: Recently, there have been major developments in utilizing the finite fields to construct Low-density Parity-check (LDPC) codes. In this correspondence, an algebraic approach based on the conjugates of primitive elements over finite fields to construct Quasi-Cyclic (QC) Low-Density Parity-Check codes is presented. Proposed QC-LDPC codes provide an excellent error performance with Belief Propagation (BP) decoding over an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. Based on numerical results, the performance analysis shows that the proposed QC-LDPC codes perform as well as the randomly constructed Progressive edge growth (PEG) LDPC codes and algebraic QC-LDPC in the lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region but outperform their counterparts in the higher SNR region. Also, the codes constructed are QC in nature, so the encoding can be done with shift register circuits having linear complexity.
