Two Dimensional Code Based on Low Density Parity Check and Reed–Solomon Codes for the Terrestrial Cloud Transmission System

In this paper, we propose a two dimensional (2-D) code based on a vertical low-density parity check (LDPC) code and a horizontal Reed-Solomon code for the cloud transmission system. The proposed 2-D code shows superior performance under fading channels due to its inherent block-type interleaving feature. Furthermore, the proposed 2-D code can be adaptively decoded to reduce decoding latency and complexity because the vertical LDPC code has raptor-like rate-compatible feature.
