Reconstruction of LDPC code sparse check matrix based on modified LBP decoding by ZHANG Tianqi, LI Chunyun, WU Xianyue, WU Yunge

“…In order to reconstruct the sparse check matrix of LDPC code, a sparse check matrix reconstruction algorithm for LDPC code at high BER was proposed based on modified LBP decoding. Firstly, some bits were selected randomly from the codeword matrix to construct the codeword analysis matrix, and Gaussian elimination on it was performed to find the dual space. …”

Layered bandwidth allocation algorithm for multi-service in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing passive optical network by Yejun LIU, Yuying LIU, Pengchao HAN, Jidong WANG, Lei GUO

“…Due to the superiority in large bandwidth capacity and flexible resource allocation,orthogonal frequency division multiplexing passive optical network (OFDM-PON) has been recognized as one of the promising candidates for the next generation PON.There are many research works on the system architecture design of OFDM-PON.However,most of these works focused on the techniques of physical structure and signal transmission and less addressed the bandwidth allocation algorithms supporting the new types of system architecture.The bandwidth allocation in OFDM-PON,which is one of the key techniques to enable the access of multi-service,refers to the joint optimization of multi-dimensional resources in time domain,frequency domain and bits.A layered bandwidth allocation algorithm was proposed for multi-service in the enhanced system architecture of OFDM-PON,aiming at the efficient bandwidth resource utilization.Simulation results prove that the proposed bandwidth allocation algorithm outperforms the conventional algorithms without layered transmission significantly in terms of resource utilization and packet delay.…”
