Dataset related to "Girth analysis and design of periodically time-varying SC-LDPC codes"

<p>This archive contains the parity-check matrices of the codes considered in the paper &quot;Girth analysis and design of periodically time-varying SC-LDPC codes&quot;. Two representations are given: the exponent matrix in time-varying form and the transposed syndrome former matrix in the &quot;alist&quot;&nbsp;format, described in <a href="http://www.inference.org.uk/mackay/codes/alist.html">http://www.inference.org.uk/mackay/codes/alist.html</a>.</p> <p>The archive also contains the following MATLAB support functions:<br> <br> - &quot;expTIfromexpTV.m&quot;&nbsp;returns the exponent matrix in time-invariant form, given the exponent matrix in time-varying form<br> - &quot;expTVfromexpTI.m&quot;&nbsp;returns the exponent matrix in time-varying form, given the exponent matrix in time-invariant form<br> - &quot;alist2sparse.m&quot;&nbsp;returns a sparse binary matrix variable, given a string containing the name of the alist format file<br> - &quot;sparse2alist.m&quot;&nbsp;writes the alist format file for the input sparse binary matrix, with file name specified as second input<br> &nbsp;</p>
