2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/133420Based on the ideas of cyclotomic cosets, idempotents and Mattson-Solomon polynomials, we present a new method to construct GF(2^m), 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 very close to the sphere-packing-bound constrained for binary transmission.CodingInformation Theorytext
