The simulation results and the performance analyses show that the net coding gain (NCG) of BCH(64,57)timesBCH(64,57) code at the sixth iteration is 0.35 dB more than that of Reed-Solomon (RS)(255,239) ...

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes can be considered serious competitors to turbo codes in terms of performance and complexity and they are based on a similar philosophy: constrained random code ...
