H03M CODING; DECODING; CODE CONVERSION IN GENERAL
H03M13/00 Coding, decoding or code conversion, for error detection or error correction; Coding theory basic assumptions; Coding bounds; Error probability evaluation methods; Channel models; Simulation or testing of codes
H03M13/03 Error detection or forward error correction by redundancy in data representation, i.e. code words containing more digits than the source words
H03M13/05 using block codes, i.e. a predetermined number of check bits joined to a predetermined number of information bits
H03M13/11 using multiple parity bits
H03M13/1102 Codes on graphs and decoding on graphs, e.g. low-density parity check [LDPC] codes
H03M13/1148 Structural properties of the code parity-check or generator matrix
H03M13/116 Quasi-cyclic LDPC [QC-LDPC] codes, i.e. the parity-check matrix being composed of permutation or circulant sub-matrices
H03M13/1168 wherein the sub-matrices have column and row weights greater than one, e.g. multi-diagonal sub-matrices
