Abstract
We study capacity-approaching irregular repeat accumulate (IRA) codes over integer rings
$\mathbb {Z}_{2^{m}}$
for
$2^{m}$
-PAM signaling,
$m=1,2,\cdots $
. Such codes belong to the ensemble of lattice codes. First, the effect of zero-divisors on the iterative belief-propagation (BP) decoding is analyzed. We show that the symmetric Gaussian approximation is invalid for existing IRA codes over integer rings. Then we propose a new doubly IRA (D-IRA) ring code structure, which consists of irregular multiplier distribution and irregular node-degree distribution. Such structure can restore the symmetry and optimize the BP decoding threshold. Numerical result demonstrates the improved performance of D-IRA codes for AWGN channel. Also, it is demonstrated that the lattice based multiple-access scheme with D-IRA code performs within 3 dB the capacity limit.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
