Abstract

Recently, for each row weight $K$ and column-weight $J$, $3\le J< K$, several classes of $(J,K)$ quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with girth 8 have been constructed explicitly such that their corresponding lower-bounds on the size of circulant permutation matrices (CPMs) have been considered small as possible. In this paper, for $J=7$, a class of $(7,K)$ QC-LDPC codes with girth 8 is generated by an explicit method such that the lower-bounds of the constructed codes remarkably are better than the state-of-the-art bound $(K-1)(K^2+K)+1$.
