A Novel Encoding Scheme for Regular Variable-Node Degree LT Codes
The erasure floor of LT Codes is mainly determined by the minimum degree of variable-nodes.Regular variable-node degree LT Codes can maximize the minimum degree of variable-nodes and improve the erasure floor of LT Codes.In this paper
a novel encoding scheme for regular variable-node degree LT Codes is proposed.Compared with existing methods
the proposed scheme is lightweight due to the elimination of the sorting operations involved in the look-up table.Meanwhile
by adding check nodes with low degree through modifying the degree distribution
the waterfall area (avalanche area) in decoding regular variable-node degree LT Codes is improved.Simulation results show that this scheme reduces the encoding time and the average overhead
and accelerates the convergence rate of symbol error rate curve efficiently.
