Inhalt:
Based on the ideas of cyclotomic cosets, idempotents and Mattson-Solomon polynomials, we present a new method to construct GF(2m), where m > 0, cyclic low-density parity-check codes. The construction method produces the dual code idempotent which is used to define the parity-check matrix of the low-density parity-check code. An interesting feature of this construction method is the ability to increment the code dimension by adding more idempotents and so steadily decrease the sparseness of the parity-check matrix. We show that the constructed codes can achieve performance close to the sphere-packing-bound constrained for binary transmission.
