Design of Multiple Serially Concatenated Multiple Parity-Check codes for wireless applications

In this paper we report design examples of Multiple Serially Concatenated Multiple Parity-Check (M-SC-MPC) codes, we have recently proposed, that can be suitable for application in high speed wireless networks. We consider some Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes included in the mobile WiMax standard, and compare their performance with that of M-SC-MPC codes having the same parameters. Our results show that M-SC-MPC codes can even achieve better performance for short block lengths or medium values of code rate.
