Abstract
An apparatus determines a code block size (CBS) of information bits contained in a codeword of low-density parity check (LDPC) coding. The apparatus compares the CBS with at least one threshold, determines, based on a result of the comparison, a Kb number and determines a Kp number based on a code rate and the Kb number. The apparatus generates a parity check matrix. An information portion of the parity check matrix is a first matrix formed by M number of second square matrices. M is equal to Kp multiplied by Kb. A total number of columns in the Kb number of second square matrices is equal to a total number of bits of the CBS. One or more matrices of the M number of second square matrices are circular permutation matrices. The apparatus operates an LDPC encoder or an LDPC decoder based on the parity check matrix.
