This paper presents a code construction method for (3, k) regular LDPC code that utilizes combination of a deterministic part and a partially random part in parity check matrix design. The parity check matrix (H), consisting of parity part (Hp) and information part (H i), is so designed as to have a girth of, at least, 6 and to generate various code rates by maintaining the number of rows in H matrix while only changing the number of columns in the information part (Hi). Our code construction is able to reduce encoding complexity by avoiding any preprocessing step during encoding. © 2008 IEEE. %O cited By 0; Conference of International Symposium on Information Technology 2008, ITSim ; Conference Date: 26 August 2008 Through 29 August 2008; Conference Code:74115 %L scholars337 %J Proceedings - International Symposium on Information Technology 2008, ITSim %D 2008 %R 10.1109/ITSIM.2008.4632040
