Robert Gallager's original work on low density parity check codes was published
|
|
as the following book, based his doctoral dissertation, and a related paper:

More recent work on these codes by David MacKay and myself was published

as follows:

The decoding algorithms described in the above references can visualized
|
|
in terms of a ``factor graph'' representation of the code, as described
|
|
in the following paper:

I presented the application of sparse matrix techniques to encoding of
|
|
LDPC codes at the IMA workshop on Codes, Systems and Graphical Models,
|
|
Minneapolis, 1999. You can view the slides of this talk <A
|
|
HREF="sparse-encode.pdf">here</A>. <B>Note</B>: Due to a bug in the
|
|
program I used then, the results shown for the minimal product heuristic in
|
|
these slides are somewhat worse than the actual performance. For instance,
|
|
the number of bit operations per check bit for for <I>M</I>=3200 with
|
|
3 checks per bit is actually around 12.7, not the value around 17 shown
|
|
on one of the slides.
