Performances of Progressive Edge-Growth LDPC codes in Nakagami fading channel

In this paper we analyze the error performances of low density parity check (LDPC) codes in channel with Nakagami distribution of the fading envelope. We consider the Progressive Edge-Growth (PEG) method for the parity check matrix construction, which can be used to avoid short girths, small trapping sets and high level of error floor. The comparative analysis with a several classes of LDPC codes is also presented for various propagation conditions.
